Ich has a 6 week life cycle but it's best to be on the safe side and leave your DT fallow for 8 weeks. The parasite cannot osmoregulate itself at 1.010 and explodes.. so basically you're trying to kill it in the free swimming stage and it's 100% effective. So you'll have to run you QT at 1.010 SG for 6 weeks.
will corals make it that low?
