Doing frequent water changes is also advisable. Pristine water will help the fish heal and it will help to remove free swimming parasites from the water column. Do a FW dip on anyone you can catch.
The visible ich parasites will disappear and re-appear on the fish's skin as it follows it's life cycle. Once you have gone 10-14 days without any spots you should be fine.

Ahh, I wasn't sure if I should do any water changes while treating. I did one on Sunday, will get one set up to do tomorrow. I usually do 10 gl on my 55 gl tank, is that enough as I don't have a big enough container to do a larger one.
I still see spots on them, but the clowns and blenny are flashing less. Also, can I treat with the herbtana every 12 hours or just once a day? Instructions say daily so I've been doing at the same time each night, an hour before lights out so they are swimming less. Thanks for the input!

If you have a UV sterilizer it would help prevent future breakouts.

I don't have one at the moment but will pick one up before treatment is complete. It would have to be turned off during treatment anyway, I need more salt so will probably head out in the next day or so to pick one up - any recommendations on a decent one? I was at Pisces earlier this week and they have one for around $160, plus the pump and lines, not sure on brand.
