Aquarium Advice FINatic
I decided to do whatever I could to save my two remaining fish (pair of clowns) from marine ich. And after much research I've decided to try hypo salinity treatment. I'm going with instructions I found on reef sanctuary from a link Nikki posted in a qt thread (thanks!)
Yesterday morning I setup the treatment tank 10 g (which will now serve as the QT once this awful experience is over!) and filled it completely w water from the DT and transferred the fish. Last night I only changed out one gallon of salt to fresh and the sg is down to 1.019. I will be changing out 1/2 gallon every 8 hours until it's at 1.009. As expected the ph has dropped slightly so my next urgent task is mixing up the sodium carbonate solution to add to get that stable.
Any experience or advice is much appreciated. Wish me luck!
