Aquarium Advice Freak
Ok, I am biting my nails hoping my order from Big Al's arrives for Xmas - tracking information is only showing it's been BILLED, but not shipped, and Al's said they shipped it yesterday. Argh!
Anyway, I have some aquarium salt in the order and it made me think of something... I've read in several places where it's good to add some salt to FW tanks and the dosage is typically 1 teaspoon per gallon. I have a 36 gallon tank - should I really put in 36 teaspoons? (I'll look up a conversion so I don't have to actually count that many teaspoons)
It just seems like a LOT of salt.
Can someone confirm this for me before I slaughter a whole community? Thanks!
EDIT: Used Google to search "convert 36 teaspoons to cups" and it did it for me - it's 3/4 cups. Still seems like a lot of salt, but maybe that's just me...
