Newbie with a fungus problem?
Deb, Yes, as I stated, “I would suggest changing out enough water to get the salt level NO LESS than 3 tsp per gallon (not, no MORE). Much less than 3 tsp per gallon will not do much good. Best results will be had at, at least 3 tsp per gallon — even though you don’t want to go too much more.
Most of the better LFS’s (local fish shops) and water garden outlets carry liquid salt/salinity testing kits for freshwater aquarium/pond use. Aquarium Pharm., Inc. markets their Pond Care Salt Level Test Kit, which I was selling at $7.50 before retiring from managing a nationally known water gardens. You should be able to find something locally — but as you normally wouldn’t have any use for maintaining salt in your aquarium (other than on occasions such as this), it might be a waste of money that would be better saved towards a larger tank, as Lenny suggests.
