1 tablespoon per 8 gallons of tank water should be fine.
Don't just dump it straight in the tank, pre mix it with the tank water in a container then slowly add it back to the tank

You can either get aquarium salt from the LFS or kosher salt from the supermarket.

dude from my recent experience you need to do the whole 5 tble spn for the gallons, and water change!!!!! i changed water every morning 20% and added non-iodized salt that i bought from walmart for .38c so get to work, the tail wont grow back and that is waht makes retics beautiful! their long tails!!
