things to do
1) make sure all your fish are accounted for. you may have a dead fish rotting in your rock work causing the high hitrate
2) do a 15-20% water change every day until the nitrates go down
3) keep feeding your fish with good food (mysis) and garlic and just wait for your fish's immune system to kick the ick.
try not to transfer them too much. its more stress which decreases immune system and then they die from the ick.
If you have already transfered them, try fresh water dip with same temp and ph fresh water. I've put my achilles tang in a fresh dip with methyline blue for as long as 15-20 minutes. Not saying that is the cure all but he is alive and well and ick free for the past 8 months.
but if you can get some cleaner shrimps, they seem to help as well with the ick.
good luck
