Marine Itch

[chumley]

I have a 55gl Tank with 30lbs of live rock, iverts and fish. My fish have marine itch. I have raised the tank temp to 82 and dropped the salinity to .017. My quarintine tank is to small to hold all of the fish, so is their any in tank treatment that I can use that will not kill off all the live rock.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

We were told to drop salinity to 18 anything below that will hurt the inverts and lr.

Also in a Marine book i bought says to lower the temp to 78 which keeps bacteria from spreading and fish from stressing. Do not add a chemicals to your water will kill everything.
