Welcome to RAG!

I know it's considered bad form to be critical of someone new to RAG and on a first post, but the treatment you recommend does absolutely nothing for SW Ich (Cryptocaryon Irritans). For the FW disease, the treatment you mention is fine.

In addition the life cycle of the SW disease is 3 - 4 weeks, and treatment muse be maintained that long.

For the SW disease the only really effective treatments are hyposalinity and copper.
