I have a 125 gallon SA cichlid tank, and I added 2 fish I received from Jeff Rapps 2 Wednesdays ago into the main tank today at about 4:45 ET, and I was going to remove one of the two fish when I noticed it had the telltale ich cysts on it, which I didn't notice earlier.. So I removed both fish back into the quarantine tank. they were in there for about 20 minutes, and now I don't know if I should go about starting treatment already on the 125 gallon since the tank was exposed to ich. What do you guys think I should do?

Raise the temp. and add some salt. That should do it.

just raise the temps alone. Healthy fish in good water conditions can resist ick easily. =P Ick doesnt like really warm water either. That's what I did when I brought home a fish and introduced itinto my 80 with ick by accident lol!
