aquarium salt

[tigrey]

i want to add aquarium salt to my 60 gallon fish tank, my fish scratched but i wanna add salt and raise the temp to make sure i dont lose them. this will be my first time adding salt so if someone could tell me the best way to add the salt. i was told to add 1.6 lbs but i dont know how to put it in my tank. should i put all the salt in a container and holes in the lid and put it in the tank? or let the salt dissolve first, if someone could help me that would be great
thanks.

1.6 lbs of salt in a 60 gallon tank? Trying to recreate the Dead Sea?

Well what are ure putting salt in for any ways?

1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. Regular NON-IODIZED table salt will work fine as will Morton solar salt at lowes or Home Depot for $5 for 40lbs. Salt helps with osmoregulation and certain parasites. The benefites will hottly be debated forever however so Im not saying anymore.
