Salt in my water

[Morgan_got_fish]

So i started another tank today and i got to the adding gravel point and realized that there was salt chunks in my sand/gravel mix. I got rid of all the little chunks i could find. How can i get rid of the salt left in the water?

Why was there salt in the gravel?
A couple of 100% water changes should be enough to remove the dissolved salt.

Well, i have no clue how it got there. Haha but yah il do a couple water changes over the week.

Yeah, shouldn't be too much of a problem. Do a bunch of PWCs and it should get rid of it.

What type of salt is it (Ocean salt, aquarium salt, etc.)? Are you planning to keep any scaleless fish? Depending on the type of salt, a small amount is harmless and can aid in destroying parasites. But scaleless/armored fish do not tolerate salt and would be at least irritated with the remaining salt (If any is left).

Im not sure on the type of salt thats in it. Also i havent really decided on the fish yet. Im just cycling it for now.

You should be fine. Just do the necessary water changes and it should be gone.
