I think Greg's point is that salt is a medication when it comes to a
freshwater pond. Under some circumstances it is a good thing, but for
general usage it is not. Chemotherapy (sp?) can help us fight cancer...but I

Quite often it is used in the Spring to help the fish adjust
to the temperature changes and the "nasties" that come with
such changes. It actually irrates the slime coat of the
fish and it becomes thicker and in turn will help protect
the fish.
