I use salt on a continuse basis. One tablespoon for every ten gallons.
Keep in mind, once the salt is added, it doesnot evaporate out of the
tank. So only add it once, then when you do water changes, ie if you
clean and remove ten gallons of water. You can add one table spoon
back. If ten gallons evaporate, do not add salt when you top up the
tank. As for the melefix, good to have on hand, but don't use it unless
there are signs of inffection ect. Also if you do have to use any
medicine, remove any charcoal from your filters. Charcoal will remove
any meds from the water.
