That was my thought too. If I hear from no one else to the negative of this, I am going with this plan, I just wanted a second to my opinion.

I assume your saying "I have to watch it now" meaning more so because of the ICH spot? Is it better to be 1.008-1.009, or 1.009 to 1.010? I know 1.009, but if it HAD to fluxuate, which way?

Thank you for your input. After reading Renogaw's quote, I think I would do a 6-7 week QT however, I see a white spot on the new arrival, he hides alot so I can't see with a Magnifying glass, but I think it looks like ich, basically looks like a salt grain on his side. So, I will be proceding...

Well, my problem was not being able to babysit it as close as I would like. Sometimes I can't be home for 2 days at a time, so I worry about them, plus with evaporation the Salinity is hard to keep at 1.009, creaps up. I have a AutoTopOff on my DT, but can't really get it to fit on my QT. So...

I have read many posts, and I can't find a clear answer, if it is somewhere, I missed it, you can simply point me there. I had a case of ICH due to NOT QTing a new fish, learned my lesson, been there, done that. Now that all of my fish have been Hypo'ed and are now back in the main tank...

I understand now, I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, I thought I had understand your post, I just wanted to make sure what I thought was correct. Thank you, I like to learn all I can.

OK, I have been buffering my water as I make it so it has 8.2, of course I do the water change 10ga in a 24ga tank, that seems to make the end result about a 8.0, then by next change it is 7.8 or maybe a little lower. So, 1.009 that I read, that is where I want it, right, on my Refractometer...

I am using a Refractometer. I calibrated it with RO/DI WATER AT 68 DEGREES. FYI, My water is now at 1.009 I took 49 hours to get it there, was scared at the end of going too low.

Yes Ma'am, I am using one. the SG fluctuates .001 because of evaporation everyday between my daily topoffs. So would it be better to do 1.008 to 1.009 or 1.009 to 1.010? I check it before I leave for work, but usually it is 11 hours before I get home. I see no film over all of him, and no...

Thank you soooooo much Beth. -Yes, this is the smaller one. -Yes, I keep doing water changes daily to bring that down but yes, I still have between below .25 and at .50 at any given time. I will be putting my sponges that came with the Aquapod in today when I get home. They have been in the DT...

Here is some pictures

No Ma'am, not really, the spot under his mouth looks kinda like the spot under the mouth of the last fish on this page https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/127010/diseased-fish-pictures#post_914673 but other than that, no, his color just faded. These pictures look like they have something on the...

My thread of "clown acting weird in hypo" seems to have no interest, I am now really worried my fish has Brooklynella. I have 2 clowns in the same QT right now, one is perfect, the other one is definatly sick, I just don't know from what. I am trying to get pictures, but he has lightened in...

Can Formalin be used in conjuction with Hyposalinity? Does everyone agree ith 2 drops per gallon per the instructions?

I picked some up yesterday. if I do a 5 ga everyday, would this not be better than using amquel? and just keep that in case of a big spike?

On the PH, I was on my way to pickup some PH buffer this afternoon anyway, I had read that it would be an issue. (So this should be more about 8.4 right)--As of now I have added some buffer, and am monitoring often now. As for cycling my tank, I had not had a QT setup before now, (I am one of...

Started hypo 1 1/2 days ago in QT for 5 green cromies, 2 clown and 2 blenny. One clown has started acting weird, staying by itself in the corner, heavy breathing, black on fins is fading. Other clown is running into it and it just runs away. Salinity is now at 1.015 after 1 1/2 days. He also...

azfishgal, your right, and in my thread relating to this, I did stat I did not QT, I also do feel really bad, really sad, I hate that I caused that little guy to die. I have learned my lesson and WILL NEVER EVER do that again, that being sad, my issue is as follows. I did catch the 5 chromis, 2...

Understood, I was just not sure if the Sailfin Blenny's were immune to ich since they seem to be such a different fish anyway. Thanks, and rbaldino, thanks for your help from the previous thread also.
