I heard that salt n high temp will kilk my plants

 

[fishdud]

I did that for both my tanks and nothing died but the ich. Just not too much salt tho

 

[abrahamavelar]

Oh ok how much salt tho

 

[fishdud]

Well technically you don't need salt, just raise the temp.

 

[abrahamavelar]

Oh ok ill try that

 

[fishdud]

Just look it up and you'll find your answer. It'll save you money and from having to dump chemicals in your tank. Try 82°F

 

[abrahamavelar]

And thats freswater aquarium salt

 

[fishdud]

Yeah, I got rid of ich in my 36g by raising the temp to 82° and it never came back, didn't even add salt.

 

[abrahamavelar]

How long did it took

 

[fishdud]

Maybe a week but you'll see improvement in two or three days.

 

[abrahamavelar]

cool thanks ill try it for sure

 

[fishdud]

No prob. And I think you'll need to run an air stone, something about oxygen when the heat gets turned up.

 

[abrahamavelar]

uhhh i will have to get an airpump i dont have 1

 

[fishdud]

Oh wait, you have a powerhead. Don't those oxygenate the water? If so, you'll be fine

 

[abrahamavelar]

ya i havent used an airpump in almost 4 years

 

[fishdud]

I have one for my ten gallon and have an extra one here, my filters provide plenty of oxygen.

 

[abrahamavelar]

That is wat ive used since my last airpump broke

 

[fishdud]

I don't even run one at night like I'm suppose to cause of co2 and my fish end up being fine and the dropper checker is always yellow in the morning. Ha maybe I'm lucky

 

[abrahamavelar]

Mine I just let it run

Never bothered when I ran my PB set up. Now I have a solenoid and life's good man.
