I suffered a huge bout with ick and lost 3 fish. I have been treating the tank for over a week now. All the water parameters seem fine. When is the time to add some new fish? Also, what do you think of the fish packages from SWF? I have a 30g, lr, emerald crab, sally lightfoot, red legs, tiger trochus and 1 anemone.

I'd wait a 4 weeks, personally. Also, leave your lights on a little bit longer during the day... light helps to surpress ick. If it's a problems for you, you might want to consider a UV sterilizer... I've heard that they kill something like 90% of common tank sickness, ick included.
