thnx

It depends on the circumstance.

1 TBSper 10 gallons can ward off many ailments, but I've used up to 1 TBS per 1 gallon if a real problme is suspected.

If you mean how much to use all the time, I would not do it. Use it as a tonic from time to time...

This may help...

Jeep is correct, you do not put salt in your tank all the time. I use it when I have newly arrived discus or ones that aren't feeling well.

For new arrivals I would just put in 1 tbs per 10 gallons. I t really calms them down and takes away the stress of being in a new environment.

Good luck!
