I'm interested to know the active ingredients of "Kick Ich". Could someone please pass me the list?

ok, I think I'll do what most people are saying and let the tank sit fallow, for about a 6 weeks, during those weeks should I do any water changes? I'm thinking of doing a water change tonight to help rid of the Ick faster. And another question, will ick infect any corals, like xenia, mushrooms, Frogspawns?
I dunno, I don't want to sit and watch my tank do nothing for 6 weeks, I can always put some corals in and watch it move and stuff.
oh and I forgot to Thank everyone for there kindness and helpful suggestions. I can always count on people here on AC.

Water changes can theoretically make it go faster and make the process more thorough. I wouldn't chance it, though. But do feel free to do water changes. It only stands to help you out.
The corals? Just leave them in the tank. They'll be fine, they may even eat some of the tomites as plankton . You can do a 50%, but unless your tank is used to large scale changes like that, I would start off with something a bit less drastic. I can easily do a change of that scale on mine, but my tank is used to regular 30% or larger changes, too.

Like I said before, my tank is currently a FOWLER, but I do have the light for some xenias, and such.
It won't do any harm to the corals, but you may introduce more ich parasites if the corals come from systems containing fish.
No need to do large water changes or remove the corals in my opinion. I did continue to feed the tank a bit though.
No, you certainly don't have to do water changes and they aren't necessary for the process. But why not? It just gives the fish a nice, clean environment when they arrive back home.
