What type of hydrometor are you using? It may not be giving you a totally accurate reading. Additionally, temperature also effects salinity readings.
Drop the SG to 1.007--over the next 36 hrs.
Are you feeding your fish garlic soaked food? If not, do so.

I AM USING AQUARUM SYSTEMS HYDROMETOR
BETH FOR HOW LONG I SHOULD STAY WITH SG1,007?

use hyposalinity for a min of 23 days AFTER all signs of ick are gone from your fish...a month, would be better.
