Hypo is very critcal that the correct sg be maintained within specified limits. And theb the necessary water changes to bring back to 1.024 - slowly, .002 per day.

@
hkgar has the correct solution fir you in your particular circumstance.
He's been there done that so I would follow his lead....
That's a good question on Ick in tank, hypo causes Ick to take in so much water that they literally explode somewhere between 4-10 days after Hypo commences.
@
hkgar....did you run hypo for 72?
I would appreciate your insight on this question if you don't mind.
OP, you can take down the salinity to 1.009 in one day....it must stay 1.009, no higher no lower, hopefully hkgar or someone can chime in for the amount of time but for now, think towards safety at 72-76.
Keep everyone fed well, this is so important as it builds strenght. I have some concerns to 2 tangs in a 72, this could add stress which Ick loves, but continue to move forward.
Just don't forget when it's time to move salinity up, very very slowly at .001-.002 per day.
Good luck, keep us posted.
