    Yes, all fish must be removed from display. If there is nothing for the ich to eat, they will starve and die. It is 8 weeks not 6 to let your display go fishless.
    While they are in the quarantine tank they will be treated and cleared of the ich. You will treat the fish with hyposalinity or copper in the quarantine tank.

    Quarantine tank must not have the following:
    inverts
    live rock
    sand

    It can have a filter but not if you decide to use the copper treatment.
