I found a link on another topic in this forum to a web site that says the following...
I don't understand some of this hopefully someone in here can word it a bit better? So on my 10 gallon aquarium I would slowly add 10 teaspoons of salt in my aquarium and every time I make my 2 gallon water changes I would add 2 more teaspoons? Am I right? How long would you guys recommend I give my fish "salt baths" 2, 3 weeks?...a long-term salt bath, building up over the first eight hours to a strength of one level teaspoon of common table salt per net gallon of water (and for some salt-tolerant freshwater fishes as much as a tablespoon, the equivalent of three teaspoons), at a temperature that is raised over 86oF. Plain table salt won't affect the pH of the water, but it must be strong enough...
