Hello all unfortunately I have been dealing with Ick for over 6 months in my display tank and finally decided to pull all of the fish out and put in a QT for month and a half. I have a couple of tangs so I know copper is out of the question so I am using the hyposalinity @ 1.009. My question is since I am using hypo does it matter if I have sand in my QT cause I have a Diamond Goby that sifts through the sand to find its food and I donâ€™t know if I should take the sand out or is the sand ok??

The pods in the sand will die in the hypo-salinity water. Although the sand may give your goby something to do, & make him feel more at home.
