I believe 1 of my fish has ICH. Is there a way to cure this? Will every fish in the tank get it now? Will my fish die? Is there a solution I can buy to put in the tank to make sure I dont get it again? Sorry for all the questions, just want to get this resolved so no one dies....

Raise temp, lower salinity, and keep your water clean and it should disappear. I've also found adding a product called marine max helps as well
quick cure, temp between 80-82 and about 30% water changes daily for a week will stop it dead in its tracks however quick cure does have a chance of staining your ornaments but you can always take them out for a while i didn't have any problems and was gone by the 4th day but i dont have ornaments i have rock and sand dont know if this matters but i hear if you have gravel you should do lots of vacuuming to it
wow i dont think they know what their talking about...
Go to ur near local fish store and buy ick or ich cure. Oh remember to turn off ur filter for your fish tank when ur using the solution otherwise, your solution would be just a waste.

crank up the heat up to 89 degrees and add some aquarium salt!!! should do the trick withing 2 days!! make sure to bring back down the temp to normal when the fish is cured.

You shouldn't add chemicals unless you have no other choice...
OP: Raise the temp and add salt, keep your water in pristine condition and do 35% water changes every two or three days and you should be fine.
not to be an *** but how long you think your fish will last without filtration id say anywhere from 10 to 24 hours and in most cases it takes longer to cure ich. seems to me your the one who dont know what you talking about. keep your filters going as meds/salt decrease your water oxygen levels and your fish will need them however make sure to take out the carbon in your filter which is what extracts the meds in the water as for the whole salinity thing its supposed to be increased not decreased but i wouldn't add meds and increase salinity as this will result in your water having lil to no oxygen and will stress the fish out far to much and you will most likely lose it if possible add an air stone to help re-oxygenate
