Im dealing with a little ich/white spot in my 125g, due to too much feeding i suppose, couldn't find the time in about a week or so to do w/c (during finals) and didn't reduce the feeding like I should have. It's mostly on the convicts I have in the tank, none on the motoro I have in the tank yet.

I bumped up the temperature a bit and did a couple large water changes.

I don't really have a spare tank to move around fish

Aren't rays sensitive to salt being added to the tank?
If any, how much would be safe to put?
Should I get ich medications from an lfs instead of adding salt?

I've done many a salt bath to rays. I go 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and treat each fish for 20 mins or until they lose there equilibrium. If you do some googling youll find alot about salt bath's i prefer that over salting the whole tank
