seachem i think has an okay copper treatment so you could check marine hub or aquaria manila. im sure the bottles they sell have instructions on the back on how to use them. if you dont have corals in your tank, you should run copper there permanently or if not at least long term i think. it kills most if not all the parasites and most exporters actually use copper in their tanks permanently to avoid diseases.
ive talked to a lot of other reefers and IMO garlic doesnt work and will actually be bad for your fish in the long run. I havent tried the metronidazole treatment so im not sure if its going to work. i beat my ich by simply feeding the fish more and fixing up the water quality with water changes and it will go away on its own since the fishes immune system will overcome it after a while. i understand where you are coming from though, when i saw my fish had ich, i freaked out. haha
