cheers, any idea of housing the current fish elsewhere?

Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice please? I have a 180l Juwel Rio tank that has been up and running fully cycled and nicely planted for around 18 months now....... However, a year ago (prior to adding UV) I had a bout of Ich and the treatment used has left an ever-so-slight blue...
