Hi all. I hope y'all don't mind me jumping in here. I have read the entire thread. It took me three weeks off and on. I'm in my 7th week of hypo. I was ready to put the fish back in display, but after reading the thread, decided it would be safer to wait the eight weeks. I'm hoping I will be successful like the few that have posted here with success with hypo.
One question I have. Has anyone successfully hypo'd a blue tang? After four weeks my blue tang appeared to have more spots. I can't be sure, because I needed some really strong reading glasses to see it. I don't see anything now at the 7th week. One option is to find someone to take him.
Would it be safe to start raising salinity? Also how long can the fish withstand low salinity, 1.009? I'm thinking I might just leave them in there for another month.
I lost two fish to high nitrites in the first two weeks trying to get my bio filter going. Seems like that's happening to everyone posting.
Trigger, that sounds like a lot of fish for a 125. I have half that many and thought I was overstocked. I think overstocking can definitely make ich worse. Thanks for starting the thread. I've learned so much.
If this doesn't work, I'll be doing the copper thing. Thanks.
