Hyposalinity Update

An update on whats happening in my main tank (90 gal) that had an ich outbreak 2 weeks ago. I dropped the salinity to 1.009 over 72 hours, measuring with a refractometer the whole way. None of the fish had any adverse reaction to this.
After 14 days, the spots that were on 3 of the fish are completely gone, and everyone looks healthy and happy. I am going to retain the low salinity for another two weeks, then slowly (SLOWLY) raise the salinity back to 1.023. Thanks everyone (especially Anthem) who took the time to walk me through the procedure, looks like it is a big success.
