Aquatic Life Aquariums

DIRECTIONS: Use when setting up an aquarium and when making water changes. To add salt to an established tank, do so gradually. It is best to predissolve the salt in freshwater before use. Avoid using salt when simply replacing evaporated water.

For live bearers (such as guppies, swordtails, platies, some mollies), use 20 g (~1 tablespoon) for each 10 gallons (40 L).

For estuary fish from the Yucatan or Sri Lanka (Archers, Chromides, some mollies), use 15 g (~2 teaspoons) for each 3 gallons (12 L).

 For estuary fish from Thailand, Cambodia, Borneo, or Sumatra (Datinoides), use 40 g (~2 tablespoons) per 3 gallons (12 L).

For scats, use up to 80 g (~4 tablespoons) per 3 gallons (12 L). This dose is not for planted aquaria.

For mixed populations, use an average dose, representative of species present. For specific information on your fish, check with your dealer or reference an atlas.

For general aquarium salt use (either for mineral replacement or disease control), use 20 g (~1 tablespoon) for each 10 gallons (40 L).
