Using Salt
Hello Lt...
If you're not treating your tank for parasites, then keep the amount you use to a teaspoon for every 5 gallons of your water change water. This amount will benefit your fish and most fish pathogens don't tolerate traces of aquarium salt in the tank water.
If you keep the doses low, your plants will be fine. I've used a little standard aquarium salt in my large tanks for several years and I believe my fish are much healthier as a result.

I'm gonna start using salt, so I'll get back to y'all in a couple weeks with my opinion about salt.
