Instead of taking 48 hours to lower the salinity we took about 5 days. Our fish started showing signs of Ick right before the 4th of July so we took out all the sand and live rock and started hypo. We ordered a refractometer but due to the holiday it took about 5 days to get to us. The fish have now been in hypo with 1.009 for 7 days and the ick is still present. All the ick dropped off a couple of days ago but just started to show up on the fish again. My questions is....... if you take longer than 48 hours to lower the salinity will ick still live? Should we bring the salinity back up and then drop it again. By the way all other parameters are great and fish are doing fine.
I really don't want to lose my fish to this. Thank you for helping us out....
