They will be fine in Hyposalintiy. Just checking they are not scale less fish.

I don't mind to reseed it down the road. BUt yeah if it's gonna be a problem then I guess it has to come out.

You know… I assumed you wanted to use live rock. Then it would spike for sure once it dropped to low. However, I’ve never tried using completely cooked rock, if its white, with no algae or anything on it. It might be o.k. Hmm…. I wonder myself actually. Has anyone ever tried it? If in doubt, take it out, use PVC for tunnels and caves.
Just to note… Hyposalinity doesn’t always work. I have read cases of ick being able to live in low salinity. But it still hands down beats using chemicals to treat. If it doesn’t work I will give you my recipe for Transfer & Darkness Method. I warn you though, it’s a lot of work, but it’s completely natural and has worked for me every time with treating marine velvet and ich.
