Ick thread**ongoing treatment

[danny zubot]

Wow Lee, I'm bummed out now. I really don't want the ick to return after this treatment, that would suck. Only time will tell I guess.

The fish seem to be doing ok in the q-tank even though the white spots have gotten worse in the past day. My salinity is down to about 17 ppt from 31 ppt on Sunday afternoon when I started the treatment. Too fast? I fear time is against me, so if I don't kill the ick soon my clown may loose the battle. His breathing is around 180 BPM! The other fish are quite calm though, even the regal tang.

I figured since I'm quarenteening (sp) every one, I'd go out and buy another fish and put him in there. (bad reef keeper I know) But its doin well and seems to enjoy his new buddies. I figured he came from a bare bottom tank from Gold's so putting him into another BB Q-tank wont hurt him much. Pics in another thread for ID purposes.

Sorry for rambling, I do have a question. How long do I maintain low salinity before starting the assent back up to the reguar levels?

Edit: never mind I found it.
