I was recommende to use this by my LFS. Does it work?

-Thanks

By the way....


I recently set my tank up with cured LR 2 weeks ago. After 1 week of waiting, i decided to put in some fish. I added a spotted grouper, yellowheaded goby, and purple tang.

The purple tang has ich. I searched around the site and found that hyposalinity will work. Any tips on how to catch a purple tang in a 90g?

It doesn't work with enough consistancy to be called reliable. None of the so called bottled cures do. Fish sometimes get better in spite of a product, rather than because of it. IMO, it's not worth the money or lost time. Go with hyposalinity. Any fish can be captured with a little effort. Remove some of the rock, drain about a third of the water into buckets. Use a net to herd the fish into an open capture container placed in the open area of the tank.
Do you have a cycled quarantine tank ready?
Also, as an aside, slow down a bit. Your tank is much too young to be adding so many fish and particularly sensitive ones like tangs. These are a family of fish that are particularly prone to parasitic outbreaks. All fish should be quarantined for 3-4 weeks before adding them to the main tank. This will greatly reduce your chance of introducing sick fish to your main tank.
