Quarantine for established fish?

Hi Crew. I enjoy reading your site and have learned a tremendous amount, thanks. <> Prior to finding your site and the importance of a QT, my tank got ich. My ich magnet / blue hepatus tang was treated with Cupramine in a hospital tank and did fine (approx 6 mo.s ago). <> I am now in the process of setting up a larger tank (92 gal to a 225) and will be transferring my fish and live rock. My understanding is that ich doesn’t go away but rather kept in check, so should I fresh water dip and then quarantine the fish for a month (maybe under hyposaline conditions) prior to transfer, and thereby allowing my tank to be fallow as well for the live rock to insure no ich in the new tank vs. just Fw dip and transfer? <
