How long until I see the ICH going away? I had the salinity down to ppt 16 for 2 days and with the temp at 75 degrees, the spec gravity reads 1.010-1.011 - do I need to get it down to 1.009 or do I just focus on the Sality? Thanks for the help:D

I will keep that in mind; however, now I am treating my display tank - since it is fish only.

you mean those plastic hydrometers are no good? I guess I better go buy another one.. suggestions??
