I was told NONIODIZED SALT can be used...But then I was told that I sould be using MARINE SALT...Right now I am using AQUARIUM SALT by Aquarium Pharmecuticals....

I AM CONFUSED!!! :crazy:

use marine salt...


Ok....so now I have that aquarium salt in there...Will that affect the marine salt???
And if it will, how the heck do I get it all out??? (besides doing a rather large water change)

Jen
 
the aquarium salt with have no affect on the marine salt.
the only way to get it out is water changes
 
Ok....I will get the proper salt in the tank....I just don't want to kill my new babies!!!


Jen
 
add it slowly over time *like a day*
not all at once ;)
 
Thanks...I surley would have done that...now, its 4 tablespoons per 5 gals?
I know I had asked this before, but I want to make sure I am doing this right...

Jen
 
depends on what u want the gravity at?
if like 1.012-1.014 ....*i would do*
1/4 cup of marine salt per gallon
