Don't turn the filter off!

Depends whats causing the fin rot - do you have nipping fish? You're
best bet is to test your water parameters to ensure they are ok
Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrates. Salt can help with fin rot as can melafix.
Salt solution should be about 0.1% which is *about* 1 teaspoon per gallon
or 1 tablespoon per 3 gallons.

lots of water changes and a bit of salt. 1-3 teaspoons per 5 gallons of water.
fin rot is almost always a water quality problem. Ingrid
