I'm not sure but it sounds like you are planning to dump a new fish directly into hyposalinity? No. You acclimate them to regular tank water temps/salinity in a Q-system, then slowly lower salinity over days. Have a Good Refractometer that give specific gravity as well as salinity. Know how to calibrate it and to use it correctly. Have a good water quality kit also to monitor pH, NH4, NO2, Hardness, etc.
If you do a quick search here on RC under hyposalinity, you should come up with several hits on "How To..."

Like you stated...Do the research.

Good Luck!
