I am happy to report all signs of ich are gone fish are healthy, eating very well and have already showed some growth and increased coloration.

Glad to hear it. Can you tell me what type of salt are you using: non-iodized table salt, table salt or epsom salt?
Rock salt (also called ice cream salt) works fine. This is what I use. A box is only like $1.50 at the grocery store.
Epsom salt is used as a laxative for things like bloat but wouldn't do much for ich.

I battled this ich for almost two weeks and am finally rid of it (knock on wood)!! This was the first time CopperSafe hasn't worked for me, so I will definitely be a salt and heat guy from now on.

CopperSafe quickly (within 4-5 days) got rid of the ich my A. metae had. Sorry to hear it was less ineffective for you.
Coppersafe failed to work for me this time as well. I took the heat and salt approach (3tbsp per 5 gallons and 86 degrees, all my 150 watt jaeger could muster) and after nearly 3 weeks, all ich is gone. Happier news, my metae have spawned!! I just noticed eggs in a flower pot and they are defending it!!!
These pictures don't do any justice to the intensity of the yellow on these guys, they are spawning now as we speak!
