Tips on how to hypo with two clowns and hermits?

[Unitylover]

I have 2 clowns, and two hermits, any tips on how to hypo?
(I will move the hermits to a cooler or a pot because they cant survive hypo)

Is this your main display tank?

What disease are you trying to treat?

You would want a refractometer with calibration solution and a way to deal with evaporation.. glass lid and topping off frequently or an ATO.

I have a plastic lid, trying to cure ick, and I sadly dont have a refractometer. Will a hydrometer work?

not accurate enough.. there isn't any leeway really between curing ich and killing fish

would daily top-offs be enough?
I also have an idea, since I have a thermometer, Ill probably use it as a way to tell me to top off.

+1 you need accurate refractometer for hypo, those cheap hydrometers aren't gonna cut it.

you can get a decent one on Amazon for like $20



Then follow the Hypo instructions
