problems with hypo salinity?

[jjoos99]

Just wondering what kindof problems can be associated with hypo salinity? I have removed all my fish from my display tank 2 weeks ago due to an ich outbreak. I noticed today my little green chromis is swimming is circles and doing flips and spirals. Just wondering if this could be issues with the low salinity and if I should be concerned for the other fish?
thanks

2 weeks in to hypo you could be having ammonia/nitrite/nitrate issues from the bacteria die off. Are you checking those daily? I just started a round of hypo and I check ammonia morning and night at least

I have been checking ammonia and it was pretty high for the first several days but is now well under control.
