I havent changed anything and I already added garlic in frozen food once a week. So I guess now that they seem to have ich I add garlic to any frozen food that I feed. Which sometimes is daily or every other day.

From what I've read, the best thing to do is QT the fishes and do a HYPOsalinity (drop the S.G. to 1.019 slowly) or copper treatment. <-- Don't do this in a reef tank, corals will become stress.

Copper in a reef doesn't stress corals, it kills them.

Sorry about the wrasse. That is my experience with ick as well, keep the fish well fed, stress free and water clean and they should pull thru. I am also a firm beliver in adding garlic, selcon & zoecon to their food to help boost their immunity.
p.s. reverse sunset is looking awesome.
