I wrote an article on quarantining here, http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/20...ture/index.php

At the end of which is an extensive listing of references on how to deal with most any disease you might encounter.

I've had ich and a couple other bouts of various things in my time... I have killed an entire tank using Greenex because I didn'tused copper in the past. After reading an article by Anthony Calfo, I switched to formalin. If you follow the directions and dose carefully (don't think "more is better"), it works and kills all sorts of disease (not your fish). It will wipe out inverts, but then just about anything will.

I have a UV light inline in my system if I get any problems I just turn it on. I have not had any problems for 15 years or so. I know some people do not like them but I have not had a problem. I have plenty of little live stuff in my tank.
