My QT tank is a 40g breeder that is fully cycled with a HOB filter, Air stone, and 40lb of life rock, No sand. I have a pair of Black and White Ocellaris Clowns, a Powder Brown and a Foxface in the tank. Testing happens at least 4 times a day or more Ammonia 0, salinity 1.008- 1.010. PH 8.1 – 8.2, Temp 77, ALK 7- 8dkh. Even with the fully cycled rock I’m fighting the ammonia and performing 25 – 35 gallon water changed about every 3 days as needed. so maybe I should have removed the rock. I wanted to try and reduce the stress on the Powder Brown.
So two weeks in and the Powder Brown has full on ICK for the second time since starting the Hypo Treatment. I’m starting to question if this is really working or is this normal cause I can’t even start the 4 week countdown to bring the salinity back to some kinda normality.
