Aquarium Salt Question

[Flatcoatluver]

So today I bought some aquarium salt, and I read the directions and it said nothing about where I should put the salt. Do I put it in the filter, in the rocks? It says it won't evaporate or filter out, so I'm confused. help please

It goes straight into the water^^.
When it says it will not filter out, it means that no matter how many times the water goes throught the filter, it still maintains the aquarium salt.

Why did you need aquarium salt?

It helps fish from getting sick. I use it for my chiclids all the time.. I've run out(its mixed with other chemicals I use in the tanks) & can't afford any due to the 55g blowing up, but not having any wont kill the fish.. but having it keeps them extra healthy.. its good for ALL fish.. also table salt(without a certain chemical, forget what chemical, but my brand of salt doesn't have it anyways) is ok.. I'll have to use only that for now.

OH & remember, whatever amount of water you remove that ALL the salt your suppose to add, as the remaining water already has the proper amount of salt in it.. so don't add salt for the whole tank.

ex<-stupid smily code, bad bad smiley code lol.. just incase someone doesn't understand)

you have a 20g tank & you add 1 tbs/5 gallons, so thats 4 tbs of salt added to the 20g tank.

You change 10g worth of water once a week, so you can only add 2 tbs worth of salt to the water cause your only adding 10g of water to the tank.. that 10g thats already in the tank already has salt in it, so if you added all 4 tbs of salt to the tank, you ODing your fish with salt.

Hope that makes sence

Correct me if I am wrong but I think the chemical you are talking about is Iodide, maybe their is another chemical too.
