The problem is that treatments that are effective for ich will probably also cause a lot of die off on your rock/in your sandbed which may heavily pollute the water. If you choose a copper based med there is a good chance your rock and sandbed will absorb some of the copper as well which may cause problems maintaining a therapeutic level of medication and make that rock unsafe for use with inverts in the future. I have been told that Cupramine does not bond like this as much, but I have never tried it myself.
If at all possible I would move the fish to another tank and treat there instead. If I absolutely had to treat in the tank I would put all the rock in a holding tank and then treat. Just my opinion though.

If the LR is live only with bacteria and nothing else, you can.
Copper and hypo do not affect nitrification bacteria much, but will likely kill worms etc on any LR. When they die, they polute the water.
