My fish had ich so I am currently in day 5 of hypo. I have noticed that there are a bunch of tiny white critters on the glass that are the same size as ich. Is it possible that this is the ick on the glass or is it copepods? Let me know because if it is ich then the hypo is obviously not working.

The critters on my glass just look like tiny grains of salt that move.
I cant tell if they have legs or not do they get bigger or something? What would cause this new outbreak of pods? I never saw them before. They just started to appear after I took out my live rock in order to do hypo.

Its not ich. Did you QT the sick fish, or are you treating them in your display?

I know that thats why I moved it all to my 10 gallon tank because the fish wouldnt fit in that small of a tank.
Also the royal gramma has some badly frayed fins from what I expect to be a secondary infection from ich. Will his fins regenerate in hypo? or do I need to treat him with something to kill off the fin rot?

Keep an eye on the fins and see if they come back. What are you using to measure salinity?
