Does anyone continually run their display tank at hypo-salinity?
basically starting a tank from scratch. was wondering if I could treat all new fish going in the new DT by just making it hypo. It is an old system just being completely redone.
Several things. As I mentioned the best way to prevent ich is tank transfer; 12 days and you are done. Hypo only works with (most varieties of ich, but not all) ich and has no effect on the more serious parasites like velvet, brook, uronema, flukes.
That, and can't long-term hyposalinity cause damage to the internal organs of our fish?
in failed Hypo attempts. is the thought that the cysts survive that are in the sand or that are still attached to fish?
I understand the fallow period. My 55 QT is going to be hold all the inverts while the DT is going to turn into the Qt for the time being with the fish. That being said... fish sand and rock will be in it. Is hypo or Copper recommended for treatment? Please keep in mind inverts and sharks will eventually go into this tank.
