If you kept the tank conditions as you should be, there wouldnt be any ich. But it doesnt hurt to hav meds of hand. What Bigspizz listed are pretty much the essentials for almost every common infection and disease. Always keep melafix, pimafix, salt and dechlorinator on hand.
All we have in the supply cabnet is salt and spare filter parts.
No need for declor or water treatments with our own tank water filtration system.
Our vets really good about making up a fresh batch of any meds we might need. I don't like the idea if meds laying around getting old.

We are not immune to picking up the odd fish here and there so we do have the occasional outbreak although in general all of our fish are healthy. We just don't belive in medicating if it can be avoided.
We really don't have as much money in the RO/DI system as people assume. All you need is a good working knowledge of the systems and a little time to shop and build it yourself.
