The Plague!

I bought a fish a while ago whose health diminished quickly and died. Now, 3 weeks later, he plagued my 20 gal and all my fish are dyeing!
I guess that is my punishment for not quarantining him!
I am down to 2 out of 4 clowns, 1 out of 4 corys, and 2 diamond tetras, with one fixing to kick the bucket.
I checked the water, which was normal in all factors. Then I discovered ICH! I treated the tank, and cured my Dojo, 1 bumblebee goby and my rainbow shark. They are in isolation right now, and I just bought a 55 gal. to put them in! I took the sick fish, and put them into their own isolation tank, and took 100% water out and soaked my filter and bio-wheel components in burning hot water. I also OD-ed the tank with ich meds.
I will let it run a little longer, do a 50% water change and then put the carbon back in. It will then run for a day and I will place my healthy mollys from my 10 gal, into the 20 gal, hopefully with all the ich destroyed.
My sick fish will stay isolated until I feel they are ready to go into the 55 gal.
