I lowered the SG primarily to ease the osmotic pressure for the fish and just in case I can lower it quicker from 1.016 to 1.010 than from its original level of 1.022. From what I have read this approach may be effective….. I guess I’ll know as the life cycle of the ich has a chance to proceed. If I couldn’t catch the brittle stars, I was thinking of using a product from Chem-Marin’s Stop Parasites. Have you heard or used this product?
