Saltwater In Freshwater Tank Oops!

[mr.bigglesworth]

Hi so i was just feeding both my freshwater and saltwater tanks and about 3 tablespoons of saltwater with a salt gravity of 1.024 ppt (parts per thousand) got in my 100 gallon freshwater tank. Its a freshwater planted discus community tank. Will this kill my live plants?

Plants include:
Anubias
Aponogeton
Java fern
Duckweed
Watersprite
Amazon swords
Crypts
Lotus tiger
Miscellanious others

ditto cl0wn knife
Its a drop in the bucket, some of those plants can survive in brackish water.

Won't affect the water at all

should be fine else your tank is 5L or so.

That's such a small amount in your 100, you wouldn't even be able to detect any salt on a refractometer. You're fine.
