Severe ich out break and kiled all five 3-4" of my Ranchu Goldfish in my 55gal tank

How to kill all ick in my 55gal tank for put newl fishes in

- I chaged 100% of water and increase temp to 90F for next few day to kill remain ich may in my tank
-Cleared all the filter media with tap water and removel all gravel
- I keep algae sticking on wall of tank and some algea on my plastic plants.

Should I add salt or ich med to clear up any ich reamin in the tank?

Any advise are welcome on
 
A simple 10 day salt treatment will kill all the ich without damaging beneficial bacteria.
A long tank fallow can also work, it’s 60 days for marine ich, I don’t know what it is for fw though.
