The most current scientific research on C. Irritans doesn't bode we'll for hypo as a treatment. That's a pretty massive, system re-setting intervention for something that's not guaranteed to work IMO.

There's lots of variants of ich in this trade. If your variant happens to be from a place like the NE coast of Australia, hypo probably won't work as variants from Australia can natively occur in natural "hypo" conditions. If you're lucky and your variant is from the Red Sea, it might work. If you have more than one variant though... Well, anyway it's a huge roll of the dice no matter what you do. I've done a near masters level of research on this parasite and I can say that I won't elbother with manipulating salinity as a control method again.
