would adding potash (muriate of sulfate magnesia, 0-0-22, epsom
SALTS)have the same benefits for fish as adding pond salt to the water?
Or is epsom salts a different breed of salt all together? How much to
add to a 1200g and 1750g pond for floating plant health?


Muriate of Potash is KCL, Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate) is MgSO4+7H2O.
Both can be good for your plants, but neither has any Sodium (Salt). I add
both of these to the aquarium plants and Potash to the pond. Floating plants
also need Phosphate, but I imagine your pond has lots of Phosphate already.
