Thank you for asking. I just killed him 90 min ago. I put up a new thread--euthanization gone bad. Currently I am moping. My main tank is tolerating prophylactic treatment, though. I do think my boy had something else in addition to the ich-he hadn't been quite right in a while. My baby platy in the QT is doing just fine despite the heat, salt, and antibiotic. Why don't we just treat fish for ich when we QT them?

not to thread jack, but I though 1tbs of Salt every 5 Gallons wouldn't hurt the plants much (if at all)
I have hornwort and anacharis =P

It depends on the plant.
some species like java fern and jungle val are usually okay, but if you have something like Hygrophilia, it will probably melt..

I'm also treating a Discus with a mild case of ich, so far it it is slowly going away with 88 temps. Got the meds ready just in case. I read at one of the sites much like the one posted above, that the ich organism is large enough to be filtered out by a micron filter like Marinelands water polishing filter, which I have running in my Magnum at the moment. It's still in the substrate though. Wish I could find the site now, been so many places in the last few days.
your fish should be able to tolerate 86-90° temps for a few days.
That should be all you need to cure ick.
