Correct Method for Hyposalinity.
1. Set up QT tank, fill with main tank water.
2. Put all fish from main tank in QT.
3. Slowly lower the salt lvl in the tank by
about a 1 gallon every hour or two.
4. Do step 3 till the salt lvl reaches 1.009,
(try to make this take 48 hours to reduce
stress).
5. You will need to leave the salinity at
1.009(no greate than this) for 3-4 weeks
to make sure the ich is gone for good.
After you do this your fish should
be healthy, hypo tends to increase your
fishes appetite so be aware of this. Good
luck with your fish. And also watch out for
the PH lvl in the tank as the lower slt lvl
seems to decrease the ph in the tank.
