Read the Ich article here is my plan to fight it.

Now that the title got you to read this those who have fought ich and won... Here is my plan after reading the Ich Article. Last Night I move the heater up a few degrees and then again this mornig I moved it up 2 more degrees. I should be at 84 by the time I get back from Church. I will then add 1 tsp for every gallon of water in the tank roughly 48 tsp 50 g tank but not filled all the way to top. maybe less I will do the math later. I will use tank water to mix the salt and then siphon through a 1/4 air tube or just pur a cup in at a time. Would either way work? Looks like I have signs on 2 fish so far so I am hoping for good turn out. I just did a water change yesterday and changed around 12.5 gallons or 25%. My readings were good. I will check the board after church before I do anything else so If I got the article wrong please correct me or if you have anymore advice or this sounds good let me know. This is my first and hopefully last match with ICH.

I wouldn't add less than your planned 48 tsp. The article says 1-3 tsp per gallon, better to be a bit over 1 than take the chance of not having enough. I would aim more for the 2 tsp per gallon, but that's just personal preference and what I've used in my quarantine tanks in the past.

That's what I was told and what I used also. It worked great for me!!!!!! Good Luck..........

Ok so I got the salt in and the temp up.... Now should I wait two weeks until my next water change if my water levels stay stable?
