Aquarium Salt

[polkovnik_rzevskiy]

Don't waste your money on salt from the lfs, just go to the grocery store and get either pickling salt or kosher salt. Way cheaper. Also for africans epsom salts help. Here is a recipe from the cichlid forum Rift Lake Buffer Recipe - Cichlid Salt you can just use the kosher or pickling salt but the marine salt has more minerals in it. No matter what you do you will never be able to completely match the rift lakes. Alot of people don't bother with the salt and whatnot as alot of the fish in the trade are tank raised but it doesn't hurt to add it either.

I also, use kosher salt in my tank and have been doing it for 2 years now and saving all kinds of $...

hi i have an unopened box of aquarium salt 33 ounces.if you want too come too new west you can have it,i have shrimp and dont us it.

Thanks for the offer but I'd probably spend more in gas getting there than heading up the block and picking some up. thanks anyways though.

So do I put this in the buckets as I'm doing the water changes or do I put it straight in the tank?

It appears as though my tank has finally cycled! It's sooooo clear today! Water changes do wonders... lol
