Re: getting rid of white spot

(Moved to Fish Diseases & Treatments)

A couple of facts:
A tank must remain 'fallow' (fish free) for at least 6 weeks (8 is better) to starve out ICH.
A UV sterilizer ONLY kills what flows through it and then only IF the flow is slow enough, IF the water clear enough and IF quartz sleeve is clean. It can no kill all the parasites in a tank.

I recommend removing all fish and treating them appropriately in a separate hospital tank meanwhile leaving the main display fallow for eight weeks.

ALWAYS, always quarantine fish, snails, corals, or anything wet prior to adding it to your display. Anything 'wet' has the possibility of transporting parasites.

Also, can you post photos of your sick fish so we can determine the disease?
