I have a question...will treating my tank with ich medications disrupt the tanks cycle? Is it better to use salt? Advice please.

Yes. Not only will the medication kill the swimming ick larvae, it will kill all beneficial bacteria; hence, uncycling the tank. Set your heater to 86 degrees F for at least 2 weeks. Aerate.
