The chemical aproach to curing ICH is not the greatest. Everything in your tank will be dyed a blue-ish green color, but there is anothe approach!

The treatment I would use, is a combination of a salt and heat treatment...the following article explains ICH in-depth and the methods of treatments.

I would advise you to consult the following sections:

High temperature is an effective treatment

Since you have plants, I would consider JUST the heat treatment.

I have used the heat treatment and it works! It's easy, cheap, and it definately kills all of the ich. Ich is deadly if left alone, but it's an EASY fix, though.
