My 2 blue hippo tangs came down with ich about a week and a half ago. My LFS told me to treat with copper being that it is a FO tank. I have treated with copper for the past week and a half and havent had much success. Today I was told to start Hyposalinity. I was told to take out 5 gallons of salt water everyday and replace it with 5 gallons of freshwater. The goal is to eventually get the specific gravity to 1.010. Does this sound about right to everyone? About how long should I keep the specific gravity this low? Some added info: My tank is 92 gallon bow front, crushed coral and dolomite base, no live rock, 600GPH filter on back of tank, 79-80 degrees, 2 hippo tangs, 3 percs, 1 coral banded shrimp, 1 decorator crab, and 3 red hermits. Thanks for the help.
