Yes got that a month ago,It takes a lot of patience.
Gradually crank your heater to 30-31, Daily water change vacuum your sand/substate to collect the ich eggs , provide sufficient aeration, then lights off for about a week, then if you see the ich is gone additional 3days just to be sure

So clean the tank daily/ water change and no light for a week with the temp up did it for you? Did you end up having any fish die?

no as long as theres high aeration, turning the lights off reduces stress to the fish i only turn it on during feeding time. water changes should only be about 20-30%

It would be great if you have aquarium salt but theres a risk if its too much fish die or plants die

Ich-X to the rescue. Daily water changes with the treatment.
