Can my high temp an aquarium salt treatment for ich be a factor?

How much salt did you add? High temps wont affect your good bacteria but salt can if an excessive amount was added or if was added too quickly (vs gradually, predissolved). Just stay on top of your testing and water changes to keep toxin levels under control until your cycle stabilizes. The salt will actually help as well to limit the affects of nitrites.
