Help!!

The search is down. I think my new coral beauty has ich. It has the white spots but inst showing any of the other symptoms. I have never been able to beat this thing in the past. I think if they all can hold out for a week or two I can dose copper. I am in the process of upgrading, but the new tank is not all the way cycled.
Does any one have an idea on what I can do here?
thanks.

set up a 10g, match salinity, put cb in, lower salinity by .002 per day down into low teens, leave in hypo until he looks good for a week then raise salinity back up, observe for 30 days. if all clear put back into DT.

How long can he live for doing this? Do I have a few days to get this going or should I do it tommarow?
