Heat and salt. The less chemicals/medications added to a tank the better IMO.

Heat and salt.

I also added an all natural product called "Ich-Attack" to the tank. It didn't require any extra water changes so it wasn't any heavy medicine of any type.

+1 - why medicate if you don't need to.....

I only heat the tank because of my catfish ( corys) and that works just fine

Well why would you use heat and salt. When your tank should always be heated. Around 80. And should always have salt in the tank?

For me, normal is 78 but once when I treated ich, I went up to 86. It saves money and most ich medicine leaves a stain on the tank.

Ich treatment with heat is increasing the heat to 86-88F. 10 degrees or so above the normal temperature of a tropical tank. FW tanks don't need salt all the time only during treatments for things like ich.
