Hi. I have been doing Hypo on my 350gallon tank. Let me tell that was alot of fun getting it down to 1.009. What a headache. All my fish are to big to fit in my 50gallon hospital tank. Anyways I got it down to 1.009. However I checked the lvl about 5 days later it was still ok. Then checked it again in 5 days and it was back up to 1.010. Now will ick still die at that lvl? Or do I need to do an extra 5 days at 1.009 again? And yes I have Refractometer.

Oh my, taking a 350 gal tank down that low...lol, that must have been fun. I don't know the answer to that one. I have only done Hypo one time and i did have a fluctuation i sg because it was a small tank and i had a bit of evaporation. My clown was on his death bed and came back great after the hypo. So I don't think that answered you question but i had to comment on bringing a 350 down that low.
