How much aquarium salt should I use to clear up "icK" from my 20 gallon aquarium tank? What temp should I run if I normally keep it at 78 degrees.
 
Will your fish take it?

One to one and a half tablespoons per five gallons of water. Pre-mixed (dissolved in a bucket of tank water and slowly added to the tank (24hrs - 48 hrs))

When raising temp.. add more aeration!

Slowly raise the temp to 86*F

Turning lights off and covering tank will help.

For 10 - 14 days.
