I have read, read, read on Hyposalinity for treatment for ICK. Most places say
1.009. LFS said WOW they would go to 1.019. Which should it be? Will me LION and Puffer be able to handle 1.009? The weird thing is that I run my fish only tank at 1.019 all the time......
When doing hyposalinity, it is very important to use an accurate instrument. A refractometer is the best, but, if not that, then a good glass hydrometer. No swing-arm hydrometer, as they are really inaccurate.
Thank you for your information. I agree with the LFS statements. I have 2 locally and both give different answers to questions but I always look here to see what is right. Thanks again
Great! You won't regret it. Accuracy for measuring salinity is so important---not just for the hypo treatment, but just to maintain accurate SG in your tank.
