80 degree water?

[RLHam3]

hey everybody! due to ich, i've just turned up the temp in my 10 gal to aroun 82-85. In the tank right now i have a couple different varieties of stem plants, hornwort, and duckweed. Should i be worried about any of these plants? or are they all pretty tough?

I'm also in the process of adding a small amount of aquarium salt

those plants will be perfectly fine.

For treatment of ich, a temperature under 86 will just cause the parasite to reproduce more quickly. I'd recommend 86-87 degrees to disrupt the life cycle. Also, the amount of salt needed to adequately treat for ich is 2 g/L (or ppt). For your tank, this would be 75 grams of salt. That amount might be too harsh for your plants.
