I look to be wrong but I do remember PufferQueen mentioning 1/2 hour dips.

14 days after last spots disappear. Your fish free display tank will be clear by now I believe, give the substrate a good clean and use this time to do any glass cleaning etc you wish to do

2 weeks in hypo & then you can start raising the SG back up. the tank he came from must remain fallow for 8 weeks.

As i thought, theres so much to read about this subject. I will make a post soon about giz's treatment, there's a lot of information that is conflicting out there, i hope this will help other people dealing with crypt.

Especially the fact that Ich is a FW disease & Crypt is the SW parasite.
