I see nothing wrong at all with your original plan. Minus the siphoning of the sand. That won't do anything for Ick. Keep your hands outta the tank, it's just added stress. I'm a huge supporter on using garlic and it has never failed me yet. I've been following a thread on another site and guys have been having success with using powdered ginger. Haven't tried it, cuz well trust me, garlic works. I wouldn't steer you wrong and I speak from experience. Good luck.
