Review: These products are great if you want to keep your fish healthy
Review: I’ve been using the API Aquarium Salt for my freshwater aquarium for quite some time now, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the results. Here’s why I’m giving this product a full 5-star review: 1. Promotes Fish Health: This aquarium salt is great for promoting the overall health of my fish. I’ve noticed an improvement in the vitality and color of my fish, especially when used during water changes or to help treat minor illnesses. The salt provides essential electrolytes that help maintain osmotic balance and promote a healthy immune system for the fish. 2. Works as a Healing Aid: I’ve used this salt to treat minor ailments in my fish, such as stress or injuries. It’s been especially effective in helping fish recover from small cuts or scrapes. I follow the instructions, and it seems to work wonders in speeding up recovery and reducing stress levels in my tank. It’s also helpful when acclimating new fish to the tank environment. 3. Perfect for Freshwater Aquariums: I’ve used other salt products in the past, but this one stands out for its quality and effectiveness specifically for freshwater aquariums. It dissolves easily and doesn’t cloud the water, which is a huge plus. The water quality remains stable, and the salt doesn’t cause any harm to my plants, which is important since I have a planted tank. 4. Safe and Easy to Use: This product is easy to measure and dose according to the size of my aquarium. I appreciate the clear instructions on the box, which helps me ensure I’m using the right amount. I also like that it doesn’t affect the pH of the water in a harmful way. I’ve had no issues with the salt causing unwanted spikes in my tank's water parameters. 5. Great Value for the Price: The 67-ounce box is a great value for the price. It lasts a long time, as you only need to use a small amount for each water change or treatment. Given the quality of the product and how much it improves the health of my fish, this is definitely worth the investment. 6. Packaging May Vary, But the Quality Remains the Same: Although the packaging may vary from time to time, the quality of the salt remains consistent. I’ve used this product several times, and every time, it’s been effective and high quality. Final Thoughts: The API Aquarium Salt is a must-have for any freshwater aquarium enthusiast. Whether you’re looking to improve the health of your fish, treat minor injuries, or simply maintain a stable environment, this salt does it all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much dose is safe for snails?**
A: We would not recommend to use salt with snails.

**Q: Is 33oz sufficient for a 30 gallon tank with 1 betta (some discoloration and eye issue) and 3 snails? 64oz is 4 pounds and seems like a bit much.**
A: Its more than sufficient! It will last you a long time.
33 oz is enough to treat about 220 gallons! Thats about enough for 21 water changes (if you do 10 gallons each time). 
 
1 tablespoon for every 5 gallons = 6 tablespoons or 3/8 of a cup. 

I have a 29 gallon tank and I do water changes biweekly (mollys poop a lot).  I recommend this as some water filtering systems and treatments remove vital electrolytes. Think of it as Gatorade or alkaline mineral water for your fish. Its also good to have for when they are a bit under the weather.

**Q: How much do you put in to make a fresh water 3 gallon fish tank a brackish fish tank for my dwarf pufferfish**
A: I put a tablespoon per 10 gallons, but mine aren't  brackish tanks. Have had a Green Spotted Puffer for 5-6 years and it does fine in freshwater. Don't know if other kinds can be freshwater.

**Q: It says to use for up to 10 days only, right? What happens after that? Same old maintenance, and the fins will continue to heal? Thank you in advance.**
A: It is not listed in the instructions to only use for 10 days.  We would recommend to dose the aquarium and the salt will continue to be in there.  The only time you would re-add salt is when water is removed and added back in.
