Hello All,

Well it's been about 2 weeks since I put all my fish into a QT tank and haven't seen any ich spots for about 8 days. Water tests have been coming out great, temp running around 82 and salinity is at 1.010

Yesterday I was watching the fish and noticed that a few of my fish are flashing against the gravel :(

Thoughts?

Just did another test on the water: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5 nitrates, pH 8.1, temp 82 degrees, salinity 1.010, copper .05

You doing hypo and copper at the same time? I don't think that's a good idea...

Hopefully the guy who told you is right, copper is harsh and hypo might be too much. I would do some reading on that. But I'm pretty sure both methods can't be mixed

When I use copper I lower my salinity to 1.018 at the lowest. I worry it night be to stressful on the fish.
