Good luck

Are you treating with hyposalinity?

I was actually only going 10 Weeks, I'm taking the extra 3 days because I will have that weekend off and can acclimate the fish in slowly. I'm going to take a couple weeks to put the fish in so I don't overload the bio-load too quickly.

In the QT, I'm just treating with Paraguard which I've had success so far with.

Hypo was also an option, which I might do just as a safety precaution after I do 2 Weeks of Paraguard with 2 Weeks of monitoring afterwards.

I think I will go with the Hypo for 2 Weeks after the Paraguard with 2 Weeks of monitoring.

I think if you are treating for ich with Paraguard, then you must go for at least 3 weeks, 4 weeks is more like it due to the life cycle of ich.

I always treat with Paraguard for 4 weeks and never had any problem with fish or their appetite. Since you started with Paraguard, it is probably best to continue with it and not do hypo.

Have you thought about using a UV Sterilizer in your tank? Seems to work well for these problems apparently.

It didn't do much for me, I'm running the Coralife Turbo Twist UV Sterilizer already. Believe me, I pretty much tried everything. Ich hates me. Haha!

I was told that if you increase the dwell time through the sterlizer it will look after ich, I hope that's true

No such luck with that for me either. I've slowed the flow down through the UV by running it through my chiller first, and even with a gate valve. No difference for me, sadly to say.

The only good thing is that I can leave my tank fallow for as long as I want to now. 😊
