So I’m trying to prepare myself with the necessary arsenal and knowledge in case I need to treat my fish now or in the future. For the freshwater dip. I was planning on putting RO water in the fish observation container. Adding a small about of marine buffer to bring up the PH to be close to the DT. Then put the container in the DT to bring it to temp. Then put the fish in freshwater for five minutes with maybe an air stone running? Is that all sound like the correct way to do it? Thank you!

Don’t forget an air stone— I believe you want your fresh water to be oxygenated when you drop in your fish.
