Does it look like ick to you guys @melypr1985 @Humblefish because my blennys all have some sort of spots naturally on them

The spots on his head they look to be natural coloration. They are too evenly spaced and symmetrical to be ich. Though, that doesn't mean he didn't have ich spots on him before all this other stuff happened.

I thought that most copper is supposed to be 5 ppm

Copper is supposed to be .5 and your supposed to gradually put it upto that I thought that it was a 5 and I guess that .5 is equal to 2ppm

First, it is important to know what kind of copper you are using. Cupramine is fully charged (ionic) copper, and has a therapeutic range of 0.35-0.5 mg/L or ppm. You would use a Seachem or Salifert copper test kit for Cupramine, as those are capable of reading copper in the low range. Coppersafe, on the other hand, is chelated copper. It has a much higher therapeutic range of 1.5-2.0 mg/L or ppm. As such, you need a “total copper test kit” such as API’s to measure Coppersafe.

I use cupramine because they say that's the best kind to use
