Ich Glorious Ich

ok, yay my three beautiful sap's have now got ich, not awfully, only like 5 tiny white dots on each, plus the barb and tetras have it now. i cant use protozin (or any medication) as i have been advised against it, it could harm my puffers? so yeah, im raising the temp to about 80F, doing daily 25% water changes and i have heard its good to add salt too, something like a tablespoon to every 5 gallons of water removed at water changes? any other advice readily welcomed

I think you need to up the temp some more, to at least 84F, to stand a chance of the Ich spores dying over a 10-14 day period.
