I'm moving my fish into a hospital tank to treat for ich and flukes, My salinity in the display is 0.25 and my salinity in the hospital tank is 0.09, how long should i acclimate my fish for? I was thinking 6-12 hours

I'd up the salinity in the hospital tank to match the DT, then lower over 36 to 48 hours.
Raise it by no more than 0.003 Sg per day before returning them to the DT
