One proven way to treat ich/ick

I wouldn't suggest putting synth sea salt in a freshwater tank to cure ICH. Sea salt raises PH through the roof and increases hardness. Use Aquarium salt of Kosher salt instead.
agreed, sea salt adds all kindsof otrher values such as phosphates, calcium salts, and potassiuum salts, not needed in a FW tank. Ice cream salt or kosher salt (without anti clumping agents) work well, even table salt works short term.
how high should you raise the temp if its a cold water tank that is usully around 68 degrees F?
i have Doc. Wellfish Aquarium Salt, this will work right?

would it work to treat all my fish in an empty quarentien tank, and bring the temp in the infected tank up to like 90 for a couple of days? i was thinking this way i could kill every thing in the tank in a couple days while the fish get a few weeks of treatment in the quarentien tank.
does the age of the infected fish affect the tretment i should be doing?

Moving your fish to another tank would work. The ICH would die within 48-60 hours without a host. Raising temp to 90 would not make a difference.
