I have a couple of questions re: treating ich with hyposalinity.
First, I have a 175 gallon display tank for my reef system with A LOT of rock. Removing the fish to a quarantine system would be far more difficult and stressful on the fish than removing my corals to a quarantine system. I would literally have to tear the entire rock stack down and put it in a series of tubs to get to the fish. Needless to say, it would be a MAJOR undertaking.
Second, I have a spaghetti worm population in my display tank that has gotten completely out of control. I would like to kill all of those worms as well as any bristle worms in the display tank.
My questions are as follows:
1. Am I really limiting my chances for successfully eradicating the ich problem if I remove my corals and use the display tank as the hyposalinity quarantine?
2. You mentioned that hyposalinity kills most inverts. Does this include most worms?
Thanks in advance.
