Pls help first time encountering ich or white spots

Ok will do I will add a total of 150 teaspoons 50 per day for 3 days 25 in the morning 25 at night do you think that might work I dissolve it before adding

1 tsp of salt weighs 5.69 grams, therefore 150 weighs 853 grams.
1 gallon of water weighs 3,785 grams, therefore 325 weighs 1,230,259 grams

853 / 1230259 is 0.7 ppm, not the required 3 ppm.


Otoh 10 lbs of salt is 4,536 grams. And that is 3.7 ppm.

Use the amount Duanes posted if you plan to kill the ich using the salt treatment.
