If you raise you temp a degree everyday until you reach your desired temp you should be okay.
I'm the same way and don't like rasing my tank temps up past 80 degrees.
The only thing raising the temperature up does is increase the rate ICK goes through its life cycle. You can only kill it at one stage in its life, if you raise your temp to between 82-84 degrees you can dramatically speed up the life cycle process. and that means ick will hit the vunerable stage quicker and more frequently. You can do the same thing with a lower temp it would just take longer.
