When is it safe to put ich-treated fish back in the main tank?

Question

All I read above is good info. So I placed the ick infected fish in a QT tank, turned up the heat to 79 and added air stone in it. Prior to That I had treated them for 6 days with ich meds. It the last couple days they have been clear. How long once they are clear before I can put them in the big tank ? The big tank they had been in has been bone dry for 4 days. The gravel and rocks have not only been boiled as well as baked in hot ,oven as I read on line. Can I safely set up the big tank. Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish

Ideally, the tank should be kept at about 86 F for two weeks to resolve Ich infection. The gravel or substrate should be vacuumed and tank furniture sanitized. If you are setting up the tank anew, you will have to allow time for it to properly cycle prior to adding fish.
