It doesnt really say say but it says that it could take upto 30+ days, I was wondering if I use double the dose will it be better??? I have been thinking about 3 things lately one will be sacrificing the only infected fish, two using double dose of it or switching to quick cure

I just finished using Rid ich+ in my tank and all the ick was gone within a week. Didn't damage any of my plants at all, but the silicone on my tank is now a cool turquoise color. If you have an extra tank, like a 10 gallon or so, then I would put the one fish that has a spot on him in there and continue with the treatment. I would then at that point also continue the treatment in your other thank for another couple of days just to make sure that you did in fact kill all of the ick. Hope that helps, sucks it is lasting so long!

It work wonders with the other fish but just that one spot leaves and comes back the next day exactly on the same spot

That's really strange. Have you noticed any white spots on the other fish recently? You could always try and stop treating for a few days and see if it comes back on all the other fish. If it doesn't then that fish may have another issue.

I use this stuff called nox-ich. I have used it in my 125 and didn't take the carbon out or even really use an exact dosage. I just kinda eyeballed it and it worked amazingly. The ich was gone in 2 days and hasn't been back for a couple months. I don't normally have a problem with ich but sometimes the feeders that I use bring it in. Hope that helps man. Good luck.
