IMO treating with just salt and not heat is the way to go. Goldies can handle more salt then tropicals. You want to use .3% salt. I'll get back to you with the calculation

Edit:
55g is approx 200L
You want 3g of salt per 1000mL/1L
3 x 200L = 600g of salt
Dissolve it in a container of tank water and add 1/4 of the solution every 12 hours.
Keep the tank warm (not too hot for your goldies) to speed up the ich life cycle a bit.

You can raise the heat a bit but dont go beyond 80f. Salt is the best choice for goldies- just make sure you add it very gradually so they have sufficient time to adjust to the increasing salinity.
