dont use UV, you will kill many beneficial things and still ich will not die completely, best way to rid of ich is stop buying fish, let the weaker ones die, keep the rest fed and healthy, let ich dissappear on its own, just dont add anything can already as you risk infecting your old fishes or the new one. Just be patient, go through this painful process, keep your fish fed and healthy can le.
