ICK ..planted tank

I had an ick outbreak in my planted tank ... after using Aquarisol (which I was told would not harm plant) ..WRONG!! Some of the plants have started to turn brown and some leafs curled .. I am not sure if they will survive now?? But anyway... after spending quite a bit of time, I finilly removed all of the fish from the tank, and did two 50% water changes.
I know that ick will die off if they don't find a fish host .. SO my question for you guys is how long I should wait before I can put the (surviving) fish back in the tank??
Thanks

If you raise the temp to 86F it will speed up the life cycle of the ick to 3-4 days so they say. I would wait at least a week at that temp, longer for lower temps.

I did raise it to 82F .. I was afraid to go any higher because of the plants, I am hoping some of them will survive the Aquarisol ick medication.
I also am getting an algae out break ... Some brown fluffy lookin stuff on the plants .. I am guessing it is some kind of diatom, because of the injured plants are not using as many nutriants now??
