Treating Whole Tank.

[jamos6]

My 3 fish in my f/o tank have ich. I have been reading about the hyprosalinity (sp.) treatment. 1 is kinda bad the other 2 are not that bad. The question I have is can I treat them all at the same time? How low should I make the salt and how fast do I lower it? They are eating and I am feeding them garlic soaked food.
Thnx for the info

Well the bad 1 died. This sux really bad. I had the other 3 live cause this death thing stinks, but if they die I guess I will turn it into another reef tank. I have 1 question. I had 2 seabe anenomes that i bought for my 75gal reef but I was told that they would sting and kill my corals so I put them in my f/o tank. I dont know if this has anything to do with the deaths but could the anenomes give the fish something to make them sick.
thnx

Didn't you say that your fish have ick? If this is the case, the problem with your fish and the dying fish is more likely the ick rather than anything else.
A FO tank mean that that the only living creatures that are in the tank are fish, not LS or anenomes, etc. If your fish have ick, I would remove the anemome and any other inverts and treat the whole tank with hyposalinity....as long as you don't have LR or LS with detrivores.
