What is the life cycle of ich.. something like 3 weeks? You can speed it up with heat, but I think I would keep the salt in there for at least 3-4 weeks after the last sign of any parasites has disappeared.

aah ok I'll do that then, the temp is running at 29C so I will wait a while before I dilute the salt out then

Are you using the pond variety? If not, its definitely cheaper because its concentrated and a little bit goes a looong way. Same stuff, too.

How is Clooney doing? I saw the pics you posted in another thread in here. I didn't like what I saw!
