I have a established 90 gallon with a iCk problem, from my research and talking with reefers I have to start tank over....but understand you need to dip all corals and quarantine all fish with copper...the ick I have lives in sump, tubeing, only way to completely kill it is all new sand and live rock, and to tear down start over again..but here is what I have....

1 large coral branded shrimp (price tbd)
10 heads of green Duncan's ( $10.00 head)
4 heads of multi color hammer ($10.00 head)
3 heads of green Hammer ( $10.00) head
2 heads of frog spon ($30.00) very large
3 heads of neon green branching frog spon ($ 30.00)
1 pair of mated true osclaris clowns large/ hosting a large sabe ane... (Will sell all together will not break up the pair, been together over 1 year or better $ 125.00)
Over last year I frags different zoas on large rocks, so I have some really nice large rocks covered with multi colored zoas, with over 200 to 300 zoas on rock! ($ to be determined have to see it to understand takes a lot of time to grow this large amount)
Cabbage leather large ($10.00)
Large green candy canes 8 heads ($10.00 head)
Welso open brain multi color very large ($75.00)
Snails, hermit crabs, andr other index to go $tbd
Lot more to list! Text me if you want pic of items @ 251-654-1943

The other option is start a qt tank and treat the fish there. Leave the display tank fishless for I think its 4 weeks(the length of time for ich's life cycle). Treat the qt with copper or hyposalinity.

No need to dip corals. Going fishless for 6-8 weeks will do the trick, but the fish themselves need to be treated--either with hyposalinity (gentler) or copper--for the same amount of time.

Edit: didn't refresh page to see other posts. Nvm.
