Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi. Can anyone please advise. Recently my LFS advised me I should add some Interpet Aqualibrium salt to my tank to help keep a more healthy set up regarding stress and disease along with other things. Only thing is the instructions are confusing me a little. My tank is 110litres (just under 30gallons). I have following fish in tank
4 corydoras catfish
3 x-ray tetra
4 guppies
3 red wag platy
6 neon tetra
For general use as a tonic and mild ph buffer instructions say to add 1tsp(teaspoon) per gallon. Therefore should I be adding nearly 30tsp. Is this correct ? Or to use to help keep fish stress free and less prone for disease they say to add 1tbsp(tablespoon) per gallon therefore 30tbsp ? My LFS though advised that due to combination of fish I keep I should half the dosage recommended in instructions above. Once added this level of salt should be maintained after water changes. This still seems like a lot of salt to add to my freshwater set up so any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nick
