Need Help Starting hypo
Hi Guys
My LFS finally got a 20 gal long in and I picked it up, I'm going to start Hypo treatment and want to make doubly sure this is OK. I want to fill the QT tank with water from the main tank so I can get the fish out of the DT tank asap. Then I'm going to remove 2 gallons of water every 12 hours and replace it with straight RO until the salinity gets down to 1.009 from there I will maintain the salinity for the next 4 weeks then do the reverse until the QT water is equal to the DT water. I have 2 Perculas, 2 firefish gobies and 1 flame angel, unfortunately I lost my Blue caribbean tang to Ich. I know it's my fault and I should have set up a QT before hand, unfortunately a hard lesson learned. Please let me know if I have this right. Thanx
