Ok, i guess the ich is at the life cycle where the ich is on the bottom of
the tank in the rocks, the female bettas that were covered in spots
yesterday are now no longer covered i have to look hard to find a spot or
two, i normaly use 4 tsp per 3 gallon bucket, which is a bit over 1 tsp a
gallon, should i use more if i am not using meds to treat ich, if so let me
know that way when i vacuum the rocks tonight i can add more if need be. As
long as they dont start to look sick i guess i will not use the MG, if it
looks like the ich is getting to them then i will start using the ich meds.

Keep doing EXACTLY what you've been doing! It's working fine if the
bettas are losing their spots. Keep the salt and heat going for a week
after all the spots are gone and the ich should be dead.
