subramn Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is it recommended to add API Aquarium salt with every water change or add salt only for treatment? is there any cheaper version of API Aquarium salt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I only use it for treatment. The salt never fully dissolves and I personally don't need it when my fish are healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only add 16 grams per 40 gal for a fish that has permanent gill damage that I keep in a high oxygen tank (above 100% saturation). I used 2-4 grams in my 125 gal for nitrite. It would be useful for fish stressed from shipping also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
