Adding Salt to a Freshwater Aquarium

To add to RedForman sound advice, a planted tank also will not tolerate salt
levels. The plants don't like the added salt.


It is interesting you say this. My plants have been growing alright,
but if you are right then if I stop adding salt my plants will grow
better. I put a little in when I notice my platties stressing out.
BOY the platties stress out easily. I only ever add the 1Tbsp per 5
gallons though. I just got two Cory Cats today and now I am not sure
if they will be happy with the fact that there is salt in the water
already. And here I am stuck at work where I can't see if they are
ok! Tanks guys
