Assure good water quality. Test ammonia and nitrites, should be 0. Test
pH, should be between 7 and 9. Do a partial water change and don't forget
the dechlor.

One recipe I found mentioned 3 ounces of dissolved salt in one gallon of
water for 10 minutes. The average person is not going to understand how
to
measure 3 ounces of dissolved salt. It would be much easier to
understand
if the measurements were in teaspoons, tablespoons and cups of salt per
gallon.


I have a large unhappy (moping at bottom and not eating) GF in a three
cubic foot (20 gallon?) tank. I've now applied 2 tablespoons of
aquarium salt. What other steps would be appropriate? Thanks.
