Opinions on Hyposalinity

[howdy20012002]

i am going to have 5 different systems basically.

1. corals/clams for sale system
2. corals for propogation system
3. fish for sale system
4. inverts for sale system
5. and a small QT system for things that can't be treated by hyposalinity.

I have been told and my limited experience has shown, that as long as the temperature is the same, fish can handle going from a higher to a lower SG quickly without difficulty. In fact, when treating the tank with hyposalinity, it is suggested to do as quickly as possible for the greatest effect on the parasites. basically, the parasites are unable to adjust to the difference in the lower SG and pretty much explode.
So basically, I would float the bags, once the temps are the same, take the fish out and just put them in the tanks...

the reason I am considering this is because I am tired of fighting ich in my tanks(pretty much every time I bring in a new shipment I get ich in at least one of my tanks)....and I have killed more fish attempting to treat it with chemicals than the ich would have killed.

Besides the longer acclimitization period, I don't really see any other downfall besides that.
