Its been a while (DAMN ICK!)

[Roly]

Well as the tiltle says...it's been a while. I have a 110 gal tank thats been running for about 8 months. Have some live rock, wet/dry, skimmer, Uv sterilizer, power heads (2), etc. A few months ago I realized that I had ick. I only had two fish at the time which are with God now My question is... It's been just about two months that Ive been without fish... now what do I do? How do I know that the ick is gone? Should I get rid of the live rock that I have? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Normaly within 8 weeks, any remaining parasites, regardless of what stage of the life cycle they were in, should have died off by now. To prevent reinfesting your tank, any new fish should of course be quarantined / treated.
