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?1.010-1.009

2. How slowly do you drop the salinity for to reach it?4 days

3. How long do you keep salinity low?6-8 weeks

4. What temps do you run at?normal temps 75-78 deg.

5. What do you place into the tank in QT? LR? PVC pipes

6. How fast do you bring salinity back up?Haven't reached that point yet.

7. How has your success been after doing hypo salinity? Have you encounted ich since?Yes,male clown fish is showing ich after 4 weeks hypo.Probably going to try raising salinity and copper after another couple weeks of hypo...not sure.

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