    Cloudy water and alge!!

    Salt or no salt?

    Ummm it may not be necessary. But it is most definitely beneficial. First, some tap water sources are very low in dissolved salts compared to certain fish-collecting or fish-raising areas, and the addition of salt might simply make the fish feel more "at home". Second, salt provides...

    I hear a lot of people who done use any salt in there tanks. I don't understand why? There are more positives to using salt then not using it. Can anyone tell me why you would not use salt?
