Hi Terry_B!

I do use a refractometer. I was just going to lower it a little until I can break down the tank. I will have to put the fish in a couple of tubs. At that time I will probably do a fresh water dip and then start the hyposalinity and I guess cooper treatment. I will keep them in the tub for 4-6 wks. What difference does it make if I measure the salinity or the SG? My LR and inverts will stay in the tank and the parasite will have a chance to go through its cycle and die off.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to go read it right now.

Cindy
