When my fish had ich the spots cleared up completely in less then a week. I didn't have a huge number of spots to begin with.
It is best to leave thre specific gravity down for the longer time. If you are religious with keeping the level @ 1.009 3 weeks after the spots are gone should be adequate. Gradually increase the salinity over another week so that your display tank can be fishless for a full month.
