I think I have Ick in my main tank and I was going to pull all the fish out and do hypo treatment in my 20g. I currently have about 30 pounds of live rock in the 20g along with a HOB filter. I had used the 20g to cure some live rock and didn't end up needing all of it. It's been set up about 5 weeks now and Amonia/Nitrite has been 0 for almost 2 weeks. My question for Hypo is do I need to remove all the live rock? I know hypo will kill any inverts that might be hiding, but I am most concerned about having max. bio load capacity if I move all my fish from the main tank. Would the live rock help with the bio load or hurt? I also figured the fish would prefer a more natural environment vs. pvc pipe for hiding. Is hypo with live rock a good idea?
