It probably was a bit much, but the stress of raising it back up rapidly concerned me when I saw this post. I think the fish probably would have been OK with the rapid drop (after all a FW dip is often used to treat for some problems and you are taking that fish from saltwater to freshwater in one move).
Hopefully your fish are all in hypo now and are getting some relief.

Don't bother him now, but better off bare bottom in a QT tank. Need to add some PVC pipe parts or other plastic things like perhaps cottage cheese containers to give them hiding places. Have you yet read those instruction write-ups on how to QT and perform Hypo-salinity?

food soaked in garlic and vitamins will help their immune system - Vita Chem is a good choice
Sherry,
Some vitamins do have a positive impact on fish immune systems, but to be clear, you don't want to include garlic in that same thought. Garlic (extract, juice, or pieces) has never been shown to improve or positively impact the fish's immune system. You may find this an interesting read:

Good job Joker. If not finished yet, be sure to read the articals listed on hyposalinity treatment. Education is vital
So is there anything else to do but wait now? By the way got my heater working and the water is a nice 79 degrees 
I hope you guys have a new attitude towards me (not being disrespectful, but I noticed you all felt that I wasn't listening before when really I was just a little overzealous...I mean come on i've only been in the hobby 1 month and im 16 so i'm doin pretty good so far) , i've lowered the salinity to 1.016 at the moment and tonight will be 1.013 so it's getting there

joker577 - just hang in there and be patient...
While you are being patient, have a look around the resource library at some of the articles. The more knowledge you have, the more successful your tank will be.....and you'll likely save a bunch of money, too
