Help with sudden Ich explosion and upcoming vacation

Fish are out. All that's left is hermit crabs and nassarius snails. I guess I now just crank it up to 81 and wait 2 months? Can the hermits/snails deal with that or should I keep it lower and just wait longer?

The hermit and snails should be fine at 81, but there are some snails that come from the Gulf of California that don't do so well at that high temperature.
