If the fish lice are parasitic then all we need to know is how long their life cycle is and keep it host free for that period of time. Since you mention that the ammonia levels are very high it's possible that the lice won't survive the cycle. Some of the reefers in Europe have had this issue and as your LFS mentioned they will be fish food and as long as their #'s remained controlled I don't see a problem but if you want to be completely safe then I'd follow DrHank's suggestion.
