my flowerhorn has some problems with eye fungal and ick

Question
so i just got a 10 gal tank around 2 weeks ago.  and just 2-3 days ago i spoted a very small white fome on my fishes eye (both of them).  i didnt think much of it since i never had a fish ever before and decided it was nothing.  2 days pasted and my fish was still very active but then the next morning i woke up and it had white spots all over him and white stuff on the outter part of his eyes.  so i found out he had ick and i "think" fungal eye dieses.  so i went to the store and brought a "APL liquid super ick cure" and did everything it told me to.  now my question is if i should go out and also get some eye fungal cure for him or would the super ick take care of everything. right now my fish is like half dead bearly moving hiding itself in its rock home (3-4 rocks pile together to make a small space in the middle).

my tank is 10gal
my fish is a baby flowerhorn
i have 1 fish
a hang over the top 10-20 g filter you can get at pet land
i dont know my PH ammonia or nitrite lvl
i had my tank for almost 2 weeks and i avhe never changed my water yet.

Also i have already added the super ick into my tank so i cant really change the water for another two days the bottle saids...  that means i wont be able to get ride of the poo the fish has lefted.  i heard some where the poo can play a factor in the eye fungal thingy.  what do you suggest me do?
should i get eye fungal cure or ust let my super ick do all the work.

hehe remeber i never had a tank or any fishes ever before so i might be kinda slow on terms you use.

Answer
Do a 20% water change, add the correct amount of ich cure to maintain a full strenght dose.
A broad spectrum fugal cure can be added as well.
take the carbon out of the filter, raise the temp to 82F and let the medication run its course, then do 20% water changes every other day until you change the capacity of the tank.
If things change or get worse, mail me.
