Tank is now down to 1.009/1.010

Fish are still active and appear to be happy, need to get some more hides ( they seem to like fake plants) but I will
Keep everyone updated !
Mandarin is hopefully being sold tnrw, so then the sump system with the rock will be fish free for the whole time and I'm HOPING that this process will kill the stooopid parasite :)

Fish can handle the lowering of salinity quite well, it's the up they have a hard time with.

I will do it very slowly, I'm wondering, would the raising of the salinity in my 150g by letting fresh evaporate be doable ?

On a side note, when I netted him out, this cane with, it was dead, but was on the flame,

They are looking good actually, but I don't wanna get my hopes up, :/
Not too much signs of ich anymore so hoping that phase is over and they can start the membrane phase and choke and die

That's good. It's been long enough that you should start seeing a substantial improvement.

Fingers and paws crossed here Brandon. Is that the head in the middle of the photo of the creature? They are gross from any photos I'be seen. And deadly to tank inhabitants. Glad you found it.
