Hi there every one well as you may have guessed i still have crypto questions. i have started lowering the salinity in my tank, to try the hyper salinity teckniqe Going to lower it to 1.10 over the next few days. but i was wondering, my powder blue is looking really bad at night. and he isnt eating to well. so i was going to give a fw dip a shot.
I have filled a 5 gal tank with ro water and let it settle to equalise the temps. the ph of both tanks are totally differant, but i would expect this to be the case. do i need to equalize the ph of the fw dip tank and how would i do this, do i just use marine buffer to do this.
also my orange blotched surgon fish is starting to show spots. will the hypo salinity take long to affect the crypto. how long till i should start to see improvments.
added to all this iv had another outbrake of dynoflaganant (red tide) so im doing a huge vacume and clean tomorow. I will use this oppertunity to lower the sg a little more.
AHHHH i love salt water tanks, what a challange lol.....
Ram..........
any help or advise would be greatley appreciated....
