One mix of baking soda and Epsom salts when filling. All the rest is just standard tap water changes. It would be harder if you needed to go from softer to harder though.

Treated lumber has new provisions via the 2007 building codes - you need to look at a reference called AWPA. In short this code is nation wide as all codes are now. Various states & localities can make it harder but can’t fall below the requirements of the Building Code. […]
Hi Pam, What size are the filters for your pond (especially your biofilter), and what is the makeup of the biofilter?? Having enough bio-filtration for the size of pond and fish load is one of the most important things for having a good, livable environment for the fish. If you have enough bio-filtration […]

How large is this decoration? Does it cover a lot of gravel? If so then the anaerobic bacteria may be hiding under there and releasing the bad gasses which the Cory cats (and bottom cats in general) are being affected. This along with the harder water (Cory cats like softer water) could be […]
Just having salt in a tank does absolutely nothing to dissuade disease or parasites… unless the salt level is up to the 1 teaspoon per gallon to 3 teaspoons per gallon range (or higher).
