| Luist .... great advice from the guys above, but as Bommer says. Now you have treated with copper, your system can only ever be a FO system. Most of us would try to alleviate the problem using alternative methods other than going for copper ..... which is like radiating soil. Nothing will grow in it for years. Other ways of attacking ich are to ellivate PH levels, reduce stress, proper diet, Ozone injection, UV lighting etc. As Travis said, the most important thing here is that the fish have got ich for a reason and once trated you need to find the reason they got it in the first place and make sure it doesn';t happen again. ie poor water quality, overcrowding, bullying etc etc etc.
Anyway hop that helps
