ich strikes

Hello, I am one of the unfortunate to have had my poor blue tang and kole tang contract ich. I could really use some advice on how to "cure" these little guys. I have a reef set up so dosing the tank isnt really a viable option, however I realize just treating the fish isnt going to keep the ich from respawning in the tank. I just noticed the ich on May 18 and now its all over them. There is also a yellow tang who appears to be ich free. All I've done so far is raise the tank temp and start supplementing with garlic. I Feel very hepless and even though I've only been doing this a little over a month I think I'm already obsessed. Please help me someone.

Thanks, Joe

P.S. They are both eating very well but the kole is swims around like crazy once and while and I've noticed the blue rub on the sand bed once or twice.
