I am settin up a 29 gallon tank with a couple of white peacocks and a couple of electric yellows how much salt do you put in the tank?
 
Salt is good for acclimation :) Looks to be acclimating alot of new fish, new tank.. I would say it's a good practice.
 
You'll be better off using rift lake salts for those malawi cichlids. Aquarium salt and sea salt are sodium based (sodium chloride). Your african cichlids evolved in calcium based salt (calcium chloride). Most lfs that carry africans also carry this salt. A large number of online dealers carry it as well.
