My tank has had ich for about two months. I used an ineffective herbal treatment. Then moved on to copper power which is supposed to me a very "gentle" if you will copper. A month into treatment he doesn't seem to have ich (other fish do) but now has medium size white dots in the center of his eye.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
pH: 8.2
SG: 1.022
dKH was low: 7
I feed him squid, silversides, krill, and clam.
Help?

Here is a great article on treating ich. library/hospital/swich/. Copper is always a last resort when you have a puffer in the tank.
Better to cut the krill from his diet here is a article on feeding.

My guess about the white dots on his eye's are that maybe the copper has effected him. You sure your Nitrate is at 20?
Porcs tend to have very iridescent eyes are the eyes cloudy? Pictures would help.
