if you're using table salt, I would probably use NON Iodized salt, as I've heard that the iodine isn't good for a tank. if it were me, I'd just go buy some aquarium salt, it's pretty inexpensive. personally, I've always had good luck with Wardley's ich treatment. I know some people are absolutely opposed to chemicals, but I've never had a problem using them as long as I follow the directions on the bottle.
