Having tank temps 81 F or higher will NOT prevent ich from becoming a problem in your tank. Ich must be introduced to an environment, either on a new fish or from corals/inverts/LR that have been in water where ich is going through its life cycle, before you see signs of it on fish in a home tank. I would also think higher tank temps would probably speed up the life cycle of parasites such as ich.
