Hippo Tang battling ich...help!

Hi,
I am new to the hobby and have a 72 gallon bow front tank with live sand and live rock...no corals (yet). My fish are all doing excellent but my hippo tang has a case of ich going on two weeks now. I have been treating the tank every three days with Ruby Reef's 'Kich Ich'. The tang (Doc) is eating and swimming around just fine but he does rub against the live rock trying to scratch the ich off. I tried a freshwater dip but only stressed him out more. He turned white and went to the bottom of the tank like he was dead. Soon as I put him back in the show tank he was fine. Anyway, any suggestions? Should I just continue using the Kick Ich every three days? Fortunately, there is no indication the other fish are getting it but Doc needs help. Thanks. Brian
