Lights out, heavy feeding...
And for **** sake - don't add more than ONE fish at a time or you're asking for trouble.
They're stressed - so their immune system is down and ich can take a foothold.

There was a thread with a bunch of resource about ich too. Definitely slow down and let your tank and whatever fish are left, recover.

I just went through this nightmare. It is sickening. Some say, "we have all been there"; others, that theie fish never get sick (or die I guess LOL). I am waiting another week and buying a s-load of blue chromis and focusing on the inverts. This way if I get a wipe-out it's a $60 loss max. Some how my six line and one fire fish made it. My cleaner shrimp is also happy as a clam. My fingers only stop stinking of garlic about 2 days ago.
This club offers excellent advice, unfortunately, I must have a dry-thumb. Good luck.
