Just like how higher temperatures speed ich lifecycle,

Will lowering/raising salinity affect ich life cycle speed?

I don’t want to inadvertently negatively affect my FOWLR fallow period.
 
What I found seems to indicate a minimum of 80°F and probably a temperature of closer to 90°F (this won't kill it but merely accelerates the life cycle). I'm not sure what adverse effect this would have (if any) on your tank, though.
