Hypo duration?

[cbrynolf]

I have been in hypo for 26 days since the last visible sign of ich. I was planning on being in hypo for another 7-10 days. What is the recommended duration for hypo?
Thanks!
Chris

3 wks, 4 for safe measure. But just as important is the instrument that you are using to measure salinity/specific gravity. What are you using?

do y ou have to slowly aclimate the fish back into a normal salinty range? if that makes sense-- after hypo i mean slowly add salt every few days or weeks or whatever until back at the same level as the display

if you raise the sallinaty at a slow rate i would assume you also lower it at a slow rate? over 5-7 days?
