I want to know what you do personally. Not what you've read, only personal experience.

1. What SG do you run at in QT? 1.009sg or 34-35ppt

2. How slowly do you drop the salinity for to reach it? over a day or two

3. How long do you keep salinity low? NO LESS THAN 4-6 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST SPOT OF ICH IS WITNESSED

4. What temps do you run at? NORMAL TEMPS 78'-80'

5. What do you place into the tank in QT? LR? LARGE PVC FITTINGS, NO LR, NO LS

6. How fast do you bring salinity back up? OVER AT LEAST 4 DAYS TO A WEEK

7. How has your success been after doing hypo salinity? Have you encounted ich since? PERFECT SUCCESS AND NO ICH AFTER PERFORMING HYPO AS IT SHOULD BE PERFORMED.

Thanks and again I'm looking for personal experience.. not what you've read.. i've done that.

=)
