Magnesium Sulphate

What are common uses for Magnesium Sulphate?

[Pepere]

Epsom salts.

 

I use them as a foot soak to soften callous.  Some people use it as a laxative.

In the aquarium or in general?

Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salts) is a source of Magnesium needed by your plants.  In my case it is used to prevent the curling of the entire leaf on some of the plants.   If you plan on using Epsom Salts, buy plain salts with no scents flavors or other additives.

Epsom salt are  used in baths to help with constipation and swim bladder issues in fish as they act as a muscle relaxant and have excellent antifungal properties you can  use Epsom salt to raise GH in your tank

Any grocery store/pharmacy should have them. Buy plain salts with no scents flavors or other additives.

Epsom salts are not expensive, and should cost about $1.00 a pound.

Put your fish in bucket or container with Epsom leave them to soak for 15 minutes then remove them From the epsom salt solution repeat once a day for 5 days it relives pressure on the swim bladder and help if your fish is constipated
