Temp is slowly getting up to 86. Salt is in. How long before water change? Do I re-salt the tank a second time at all after waterchanges? How long does it usually take for the ich cycle to well cycle!
take a week or 2 for the cycle to end add salt for what ever amount of water you change.... this is the reason i switched to paragaurd works quicker and never bothered my rays
i would keep doing water changes as much as possible add the salt as needed say you do a 50% water change in a 100 gallon tank add the salt back to the tank for 50 gallons
the ray can't get ick
make sure the tank is fully cycled and you have good filtration
and your fish should make it

Of course! I have been a "mother of sick children" at work, at play, those darn fishies are always in the back of my head all week. Their my babies, what can I say??

Fish are looking better, it got worse, but "it always gets worse before it gets better".
Thei appetite has skyrocketed. And my clown knife is more active, not sure but I'm guessing its the heat thats putting them in fast-foreward mode?.
I do think I caught it in time. I always do a daily/every two days check of the scales, fins areas and it actually paid off!
The stingray soesn't seem to know that theres even salt in the tank, he just carries about his business, not bothered, or really minding to care.
I think everyone will be okay. I've done a water change two days ago, and will be doing one this afternoon, still adding salt, I'll probably add salt for a week more. Maybe a week and a couple days. I want to be safer than sorry. Right?
Thanks guys so much for all your help, it was really appreciated.
