clearing ich from fish tank?

i have ick clear medication, but a friend suggested to just put salt in my tank.

i know its like 2tsp per gallon, and to dissolve the water in a bucket first, then slowly put that bucket of water into the tank. and then after like 7 days the ick should be completely gone.

but my questions are; i have tiger barbs, neons, platies, rainbow shark, and 2 german blue rams..will all these fish be ok with the salt? or am i safer just using my medication that i have?

is it a bad idea to use fake plants from the hobby store in my aquarium?

the plants at the hobby store are much more pleaseing to the eye than the plastic ones at the pet store. but is the material going to collect algae or will the glue come apart in water could the dye leech out into the tank? just looking to see if someone else has tried it.

Just got a Yellow Mimic Tang, and it has turned from yellow to a brownish color in a few days, why?

The tang has been eating a ton, you can see his belly is full, and he is always eating the hair algae on the back of the tank. Is there something wrong with it changing colors or any info on why this has happened would be great. 130 Gallon reef tank with a puffer, and lion fish.
