I got a small yellow tang today. He is 1.5in long and will be in the 55 once I get rid of his ick problem. I can allrdy see a few white dots on him, he's been in my QT tank for about 5 hours and seems to have acclimated well. Is it alrigt to go ahead and start lowering the salinity?

Yes, just be sure to acclimate slow. Better to do several small change outs of water, then larger ones.
