Aquarium salt and plants


Recommended Posts

I've read the ACO recommended dose of 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons when adding salt to a tank. I'm wondering if there are certain plants that can't even tolerate that amount. In particular, I'm concerned for my Anubias, Buce, and Dwarf Lillies.

Anubias and buce are relatively salt tolerant in my experience. Not sure about Dwarf lilies, but tiger lotus is salt tolerant too. For reference, I'm keeping these plants in a brackish tank with 1 tablespoon per 1 gallon of sea salt.
