Logistics! and ich.

So, I picked up some fish and some frags from Springfest, and I quarentined them, and, low and behold, they have ich. So, luckily they are in the QT. Can anyone think of a way to treat the fish that is not going to kill the frags? The frags are a monti and a frogspawn. I don't really think I can convince the wife to let me set up a second QT for the frags.





Thoughts?


Thanks

I feel pretty certain that I won't be putting them directly into the DT, as they are in ich infested waters, and I don't want to contaminate the DT. I can treat the fish, and plan on it, but I just feel bad killing the corals, as hypo or copper would do.

 

Why quarantine corals? so I don't bring things I don't want into the DT. I have one display tank thankfully free of aptasia, and want to keep it that way. bryopsis, hair algae, red bugs, etc. I love the fests, but we all go in knowing there is no QC, and need to take our own precautions. I do a SeaChem Reef Dip, but I would still rather observe for a week or two before I drop them into the tank, only to find out something I didn't want to know.

Regarding the tank transfer method, will it work? It seems like voodoo to me. Wanna give me a run down of how I can do it, and also, can I do it without a second tank? for example, use a holding bucket while I clean the QT?

Thanks for the responses everyone.
