Hi Melanie,

as I before already wrote, no panic. Ick and Oodinium are exciter those, if they do not find a new host in the free water after short time die. With Oodinium the incubation period is 12-24 hours, with Ick is it 10-14 days at normal aquariums temperature. In no case you must again start with your QT. A new cycle to start lasts much longer, than simply to wait to the last exciter is death. I would attach a UV-C light to your QT, am in each case recommended. Thus you kill surely all exciters within a short time.
