so i know using salt will cure fungus on my stingray. but how should i go about it? I have a 125 gallon tank right now so how much salt should i add and how often? and when should i do a water change after the treatment? The fungus is at the stinger where the guard was and at the tip of her tail. I will post pics here in a little bit cuz i also not sure what kind she is. thanks for your help.
 
3lb of salt per 100 gallons of water.
 
Salt is best for small infections. for more serious wounds and infections, I have used pimafix and melafix with success. Use half the normal dosage.

yup just add a 3 lb box to your tank.... morton kosher salt works great and is cheap...
