So I cant catch a break :/

One Black skirt now has ich, I put two pennys in the tank for copper, and aquarium salt, I also have melafix in the tank do to a fin rot issue I had a few days ago which is much better.

Ammo: less than .25
Nitrite: less than .25
Nitrate: 10ppm

I have copper sulfate (pure) Because I have a liquid cooled PC, and copper sulfate helps combat alge and bacteria in the lines. Ive read that many meds for ich contain copper sulfate. Can I use a drop or two of pure cooper sulfate in the tank? Or should I just leave the two pennys in there and that is enough?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: forgot to add its a 10gal with 6 black skirts, I know thats over stocked I have a 30 gal tank coming monday.

Another edit: the bottle of copper sulfate is not 100% copper sulfate it is 5% copper sulfate 95% distilled water, it states to use 1 drop per liter.
 
I've just turned up the heat to 86° and kosher salt to cure ich. It needs to stay at this temp for 2 weeks to make sure all the spores are dead.
