Need Help Fast!

we have been fighting a bad case of what we believe to be ich in our salt water tank for about a month now. we upgraded tank size to a 130 gallon from a 30. we have two canister filters running and a uv filter. we have been doing frequent water changes using ro water and nothing seems to be helping. just when we see the ich starting to clear it comes back twice as bad. we have two dogface puffers a valentine puffer and a trigger in the 130. when we came home yesterday and inspected the fish the ich seemed to be completely gone and figured the daily heart attacks where a thing of the past. when we looked at the trigger this morning however (who never showed any sign white spots or itching) he was COVERED! he has spots all over him so of which look pink. can ich spread that fast? could it be something else seeing as his spots are pink and ich treatment doesn't seem to be helping? if any one has any ideas please help! i'm beginning to think my fish are doomed. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/im...cons/icon9.gif

If you haven't already, check out Waterkeepers sticky thread on the newby forum. It will tell you all about ich and what to do.
