I don't understand why my Aqua C Remora Pro is putting out just as much skimmate now at 1.009sg on my QT as it does when it's not under hypo at 1.025.

Thats odd. Hypo is low enough salinity that reduced skimming efficiency would be the norm.

Hehe, hmmm I must be doing something wrong then.

Or right!

Hello Dex, any update? How is the treatment coming along?

I am thinking about doing hypo on my fowlr also because my angels have ich as well.

thanks,
Steven

all my angels & tangs are doing fine, smaller fish didnt seem to tolerate:

Fire Fish
Black Cap Basslet
5 Green Chromis (Chromis dse)

Im going on my 2-3 weeks, keept my salinity at 1.009 Ph at 8.1 & my temp I raised to 82.5 degrees. I have done water changes every 4 days & added AmQuel for the Amonia/nitrite spikes.

as I slowly increase my salinity, am I expecting my tank to cycle again?

 

[billsreef]

No reason your tank would re cycle from hyposalinity

 

[DEXTER SOLIS]

thanks Bill.
is there a draw back or disadvantage of extending the recommended length on doing hypo-salinity?

 

[pecan2phat]

Yeah,
Your fish will start to fade in color.

Within reason, no. In other words you can get away with extending it a few weeks or so with no draw backs, however, much longer than that (i.e. several monhts) could start leading to problems. It's strictly a short term treatment.
