HELP. I've had my 30g running fine for about 3 months now and all of sudden every fish has died of ick. All of my corals are growing fine but I've had couple of clowns and small tang died in last week. CP sold me ick med and I've treated tank daily. Tried putting in another clown and within 2 days that one died too. Should I do a WC? I've got my blenny and goby and inverts in there and they are doing fine.

Google marine ich myths and facts. Thereeftank has a post that will answer all your questions. Until you treat it correctly, I assume that any new fish you add will likely get ich from the fish you already have.
Ich is a parasite. The goal of a parasite is to live off a host NOT kill it. Your fish that appear fine probably have ich. The new fish that are stressed have a weaker immune system and are overtaken.
You can have a cold and still function, but give your 90 year old grandmother that same cold and she might die of pneumonia because of a weaker immune system. On cold medicine you might not even have the sniffles, but you still carry it.
That search will detail the only ways to cure ich. My vote is qt your fish in hypo for 2 months.
