ich in my display tank

Yeah, Cu use will pretty much destroy your rock and kill off your coral.
It will also stay in sand and filter media.

Cryptocaryon (AKA marine ich) will live for a LONG time without a host. Get your temp down to the mid 70s and drop the salinity to help kill it off. Sounds like you found the freshwater treatment, not the marine treatment.

define a LONG time? ive always been of the understanding that they cannot live more than three months at most without hosts?

I'd say 6 to be safe. If' seen it pop up LONG after I thought it was gone.
