    IMPE= In my personal experience, sorry ;)

    Yes other fish can get it, and some are more suspectable to it, like tangs and clownfish.

    sorry, I didnt see that you wrote ICH. Is there any good way to get rid of ICH without a hospital tank? If i do get a hospital tank what do i treat it with, and how long does it take? I would rather treat in my DT because it is going to be darn near impossible to get my fish out of the rock

    Ok, judging by the responses i have received i ordered a bottle of Kordans ICH Attack, it is ok to put in my DT with my corals, so hopefully this will take care of the ICH thats going on in there, hopefully my fish will make it till the order comes in. I also ordered a new set of lights for my USA Orbit, and a phosphate sponge. I am still having a algae issue and a phosphate issue, the bulbs i am using are about 17 months old and have never been changed, my LFS thinks this will make a big difference.
