Didn't get Prime. I use API water conditioner. Have ordered Prime though. Should get it next week.
[Help] Indo Dat Cloudy Eyes

ok....I'm not trying to step on toes here but melafix isn't going to hurt any fish, its garbage regardless though. Think of melafix as the type of medication your weird hippy uncle would give you....holistic, healthy, and useless.
Salt is the right call but loaches are sensitive to salt so watch how much you dose the tank with. all scaleless fish have an aversion to salt. I keep a small amount of salinity in my tanks except for my African/Asian tank due to the loaches and featherfin cat.

yup, 99.9% of the time, pristine water and a touch of salt will cure cloudy eye. I've had several fish get it randomly over the years, it goes away with good water quality.heh heh thanks for the description

Nitrate crept to 10ppm and bam, the dat got cloudy eyes 
Need to ensure it recovers and that it doesn't happen again.

No worry bro your not stepping on my toes, we all here to help and learn. I have kept fish many years and I still learn every day. People seem to have many different way of treating fish, using medication etc.. IMO it really doesnt matter what you're using, as long as safe for the fish, it help and heal the fish that is all it matter. Scale less fish are very sensitive I agreed, when i do large water change, I add more salt to it. It doesnt hurt or harm my loaches, but then again it could harm other people loaches in their tank.
to the OP the key is water change is the big thing. Sound like if your nitrite spike dats will and can get cloudy eyes from it. Cut down on feeding until he is healed.
So how much salt for the 90G tank? LFS guy said 2 spoons is enough but i'm seeing recommendation of 18 spoons for 90G on the web.
I would do, and this is just me since there are sensitive fish in the tank, 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons give or take....just to see how they tolerate it. if you notice the loaches flashing against décor then do a water change and forgo using salt and just stick with clean water.
