TJ, I agree with your theory about slowly weaning treatments down rather than stopping them abruptly. However I suggest you keep up the salt and any other anti-ich activities for at least another week. In fact I have seen it suggested to keep treating for TWO weeks after the last sign of any symptoms has disappeared.
It's cheap, it's harmless. Think of it like doctor's orders to finish the whole 10 days of antibiotics even though you feel fine after day 3. Stopping too soon could leave ich survivors, just enough to come roaring back weeks or months later. Then those survivors are the ones most resistant to salt/heat treatments. Best to be persistent now, eh?
