My silver tip tetra died with ich, what now?

I posted a few days ago that I had 3 silver tip tetras that had ich, and per the suggestions I got, I ordered a heater. My heater has not gotten here yet, and in the past 2 days my 3 tetras died. I now have no fish in the tank and obviously I can’t see any ich but I’m sure it’s still there. I’m planning on heating the tank up and treating with ich-x for a few days as if there were fish in the tank. Then getting the water parameters in check before I get new fish. Does this sound like a good plan? Any suggestions?

Sorry your tetras didn't make it. Treatment with ich-x and heat has always worked for ME when fish were in the tank. However, with no fish there may be more aggressive treatments that can be guaranteed to eliminate ich. Higher heat? Higher dose of medicine? Can't see it hurting anything.
