Hi every one I started my first salt water Aquaruim December so it's been 6 months. I've been adding corals mostly SPS and it's coming along and looking nice. But I'm having a little bit of a fish issue and I'm hoping you guys can help me out. The last two fishes I've added after 4-5 weeks of looking good started to have cloudy eyes and die within a week of getting that. I have a 35 gallon deep blue rimless with a pajama Cardinal and leopard wrasse that are healthy and happy. I've had them for 5 months now. I did have a little ick out break 4 months ago and I never removed those two fishes and waited 3 months before adding anything else. The last two fishes I added did not have any white spots only foggy eyes. So my two questions are ONE what is the foggy eye thing ?? And TWO do you guys recommend removing my two fishes and going fish less for 76 days and hope what ever it is dies off ?? Thank you guys so much and I hope some one can help me out because I do want to do the right thing and keep fishes healthy and happy

Let's get @Humblefish and @melypr1985 to offer some advise. They should be able to offer some solid advise here.
Welcome to R2R! 
if any fish stayed in the tank the odds of you still having ich present are still pretty high. the 76 day fallow only works with all fish removed from the tank.
+1 to @dbl , those are the people you want info from

A fish, (or multiple fish) with both eyes having clouding to their corneas usually indicates a systemic problem. This may be poor water quality, a bacterial or protozoan infection or very often, a trematode (fluke) infection.

Ich is already known to be present in your aquarium, and the cloudy eye thing is probably either flukes or a bacterial infection.
Time to go fallow and treat all your fish for ich & flukes. First step is reading up on how to setup a QT: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-to-quarantine.189815/
TTM would be ideal for this situation: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tank-transfer-method.192655/
