If there is a doserate on there for loaches or scaleless fish, use that For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

You can raise the temp slowly and turn off any lights. Keep up the treatment a bit longer to make sure you have killed all the cysts in the substrate.
