How can I minimize my chance of getting an ich or other parasite infection from using natural sea water? If I let it sit in containers for 48 hours, would my chances of infection from the water be very low? 3 days?

Pump it through a 5 µm filter - that should catch all parasitic protozoans and many bacteria as well.
Ich will be gone (or encysted) after 2 days. Of more concern would be Amyloodinium which has a free living stage that can survive for up to 30 days without a host.
