I used copper to treat ich in a hospital tank but I'd not use it in a display tank. It is also not recommended with some of the fish you have.
As for the "reef safe" cures. There is much debate over them, I've chosen to not trust them.

Well, from personal experience that stuff I posted worked for me and my neighbor. I only had to use it once many years ago but my neighbor just had to use it a couple weeks ago and no ill side effects in his 75G reef tank. Not saying that means it is safe and will work for everyone.. just my 2 experiences has been good with that product.
Understood but I know of people that used it and it harmed the tank. With such opposing experiences I personally choose to err on the side of caution.
That is always the safe bet for sure.. like me with Instant Ocean salt.. wont every touch it again from all the bad experiences people had with it in the past. 
Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, there is no way to 100% rid your tank of ick. That's what has always been told to me. Now, fish like a Hippo Tang are very sketchy/stressful fish to begin with and that is reason they are usually the first fish to show signs of Ick. But the reason it got ick is usually because something in the water is out of wack and causing unneeded stress on the fish.
