hypo for 3+ weeks. new signs of ich

[ryanpal]

hey guys. i started hypo on my new arrivals when they showed signs of ich 3 weeks ago. i'm not sure why a new cycle of ich started since it's almost been a month of hypo (1.10 salinity) temp around 80.

any insite and helpful hints that i can do for the next 6 weeks?

thanks in advance.

how are you measuring your salinity?

 

[ryanpal]

refractometer. it's been calibrated as well.

I had the same issue of ick outbreak again after a month or so of hypo (fluctuating between 1.008 thru 1.010). I don't know if I had the resistant hypo strain or not (I doubt it), but everything looked good, so I started raising the salinity back up slowly. When I hit 1.015, the ich was visible on the fishes again. So I just raised the salinity to 1.021 and dose copper. CU helped me get rid of ICH on my lawnmower blenny, 2 firefishs, chocolate mimic tang, and tomato clown after two weeks.
