I have an ich issue with my 48 bowfront. Purchased fish from LFS and did not quarantine (dumb), Anyway, lost the new fish 1 by 1 and two survivors have been stable for the past week and are eating normally, I want to rid tank off all disease by trying hypo salinity, My plan is to start a small quarantine tank and instead of moving remaining fish into QT, I would like to move cleaning crew into small tank while dropping salinity of display tank to kill off ich. In display tank I have live rock with a little algae, no coralline or feather dusters.
My thinking is that I can use water, piece of live rock and some filter material from DT and any ich would eventually die off and going hypo in display tank would rid any remaining ich from fish and tank.
Any risks with this strategy?
Thanks for your assistance
