Angry I Give Up!!!!

Hey everyone.

I'm almost in the 6th week of ich hyposalinity treatment and now I have lost 3 of my 5 fish. Everything was going well till last week. I have checked the salinity with a refractometer every day (It been between 1.08-1.09, never over and mostly at 1.8!) All of the sudden last week my watchman goby died with no warning. Then 4 days ago I noticed my 6-line and coral beauty started to get white spots again. I checked and the salinity was still 1.085. The 6-line disappeared a day later and my coral beauty died today (I also found the 6-line dead today).

Now my last 2 fish are true perculas and one is starting to get white spots (but he still looks fine). Any suggestions? Should I just raise the salinity over the next couple of days and do copper treatment? Could this not be Ich? Sorry that I have so many questions, but here is my last one. If I treat my quarrantine tank with copper, does that mean I can never put an invert/coral in there again?

FYI...my main tank has never looked better!
