Water temperature during 3

[allendehl]

Hi there guys?

I've read that raising the temperature of the water helps during fallow period for ich?

Any true to it? If so, what is the ideal temperature for a tank with corals in it?

I believe that advances to cycle, thus reducing the 72 day fallow.
Raise to 80 but still go the full 72
No real value going higher

it is my understanding that pertains to the freshwater types of ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), not the marine ich (cryptocaryon irritans).

Found this in the sticky notes.
Poster, a moderator, clearly suggests that some stages of its life cycle would move faster at higher temps, but, I do not know this for a fact.

Certainly would not hurts to raise a bit but still run the 72 days fallow.

are you referring to anemone's post from circa 2000?

Wow, that took a bit of read and re-read.
I think I'll just stick to same temp and hypo for Ick.
Agreed. Likely just too many variables to pin down a general rule.
Thanks.
