Canister filters are typically a bad idea on a reef tank unless you clean them bi-weekly. I would personally do without it. Your rock will act as a filter for your tank and the skimmer will do the rest.

Thanks every one but sadly all but 2 fish have died. So I removed the 2 and put them into quarantine tank 50% water change and purchased a uv sterilizer in hopes that the ich will be removed by the time the 2 fish are back to full health. Lesson learned quarantine all fish and dont trust the LFS.

Just leave the tank without any fish for 2 months and the ich will be gone automatically. Sorry to hear about your loss; the exact same thing has happened to me. I used ich-x and kordon but haven't worked for me too
