I was reading somewhere, on the internet, its not beneficial to do more than 10% a month, they peformed a laboratory test. Im enjoying the hobby very much, it just gets confusing.

I equate this hobby to cooking there are many recipes that are the same but everyone prepare it differently you follow the basic principal and put your own spin on it.
Yeah it can be confusing at times but you learn so much on the way and you never stop learning also you do what works for you.
Sorry this has nothing to do with ich

All good advice but remember the old salts who have been around for a long time have /been there, done that/
Caution with those that want to 'push the envelope' but you study up and than make your own opinion.
