I've treated my tank before for White Spot that's also planted and my plants was not effected? Didn't think it was a problem in a planted tank.

as far as i am aware most meds will cause damage to plants and to the filter.
I have heard that raising the temp and using salt is the best method, does anybody have any experience with this?
