Hyposalinity Question

[orangespot]

I have a coral beauty in hypo for ich.....it is down to 1.009ish. How quickly will the ich disappear? I know he has to be in there for a month but when will the hypo kill the ich? Just curious because after a day, I have seen no difference on the fish. Thanks.

Hyposalinity only kills the free swimming forms of ich. The parts that are protected in the slime layer of the fish will survive. They can take 5-7 days to fall off. Be patient.
How you are measuring specific gravity? You should make sure that you are using a refractometer for measurements in this range.

I am using a refractometer to measure it. Hoping the little guy pulls through. It is in the later stages so not so sure but he is still eating and swimming around. Hoping for the best.
