A few Questions on using Aquaruim Salt?
I just bought aquaium salt and put a tablespoonfull in my reservoir (8 gal)
1) When can i put in another tablespoonfull?
2) Do i need a water move before /after each tablespoonfull?
3) Some more info on using it ?
thanks !
If you've put the maximum it say you can put in according to the instructions then i would do a marine change before you add any more. Salt allows oxygen to flow over the gills of the fish more efficiently and improves their health but putting too much in will gun down them.
It is also advised to add the salt slowly over a thing of days and not all at once.
You only have to add aquarium brackish again when doing water changes because it does not evaporate and isn't filtered out. You should coppers 1/4 of the water every week and add 1/4 tablespoon to the new hose down. Aquarium salt helps prevent disease by providing essential electrolytes. It can also be used to help out treat diseases. There are certain fish that you should not use it with though, like catfish, because they are scaleless and sensitive.
I use Epsom Salt.
i use this stuff it works great so trust me on this yes before u add more u inevitability u need to syphen the stones and remove water not all of it but most of it afterwards add more and dont be scred if uadd more then what they influence not like a tablespoon more but if its a little more approaching a teaspoon or less it'll be fine and trust me this stuff keeps ur fish healthy and cheery so put another one in after a waterchange
Answers: First of why are you putting saline in to your aquarium?? It does absolutely nothing so ?
Secondly whether you have new charcoak put it in to abxorb the brackish. NO SALT who told you this? Fresh water fish cannot and should not have salt of any sympathetic you were lied to. n In the amounts you are keeping it elievates no parasites it does nothing but stress your fish out more. I am not certain who told you thing but it is BS.
Best advid\ce don't use salt your fishare better off really minus it. Get over the myths as well as the crap;. No need for salt fresh sea Sorry
