Help my pbass have ick

[ryansti]

I have a 135g with a fx5, two 9" ocell's and one 9" Tem. Yesterday morning i noticed white spots on the tem's fins so I added salt and raised the temp to 88 degrees. Today I woke up and checked them and now all three have ick and the tems fins look like hell. Im going to add some ick meds what brand should I use? The tem looks really bad

how much salt did you add, alot people tend to underdose when adding salt
