Salt Question - These posts always recommend 1 but my DOC Wellfish Salt carton 1 as a general tonic. 1 teaspon of salt per 5gal works out to what % solution? Also, how do i measure Salinity in tanks range?..

Salt for Nitrite? - I read somewhere that the Chloride in Salt competes with Nitrite to be absorbed by the fish's gills. Having salt creates an insurance buffer against a potential Nitrite problem. Does that mean that breaking in a new setup, it might..

I'm setting up a goldfish tank after a long hiatus. The thing is, I
can't remember how much salt I used to add to the water for my fish. I
think I used to add 1 tablespoon for every ten gallons but I've found
several places on the Internet that recommend 1 tablespoon for every
five.

How much do all of you use?

Thanks!

start with 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons and move up to 3 if you want. low levels of salt
is enough for routine care. increase if fish break out in ich.
