Actually the lower the salinity the more strain on the kidneys since fish use this organ to regulate internal homeostasis. Eventually, and this depends largely on the individual, hyposalinity will cause kidney failure and death. The stress will also lower the immune system. If you have had the...

If you go with hypo be prepared to keep the fish in QT at least a month or they will be reinfected when you put them back. You might want to consider Kick-ich or No-Ich. Both products work reasonably well,bio-degrade in 5 days and are safe for inverts and the biofilter. Both have worked well for...
