Does anyone know if I can use this simultaneously with aquarium salt? My goldfish is suffering from what we think is fin rot.

Yes, but if it is a small goldfish use half a dose and slowly add the rest through the day. It will work but smaller fish have a hard time with it. Use 3/4 the dose of salt

You probably can, but you really don't need the salt if using the fungus clear.

Yes. I get a great return on my aquatic plants and doesn't hurt the fish. Been using it now for a few years. Fyi..... my Angels are breeding and giving off healthy broods.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you.There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad. I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert.

I had a salt water tank and used the sea salt from it. However, don't use too much or it will shut down the machine and it will not work on regular table salt.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

I don't know how sterile this product would be. I would ask a fish specialist. I use it for inlays into custom furniture. I pay $50/4 ounces. My guess is, too expensive for a fish tank.

You may want to only use it if you tank / fish have parasites. This product can stress your fish so only treat if necessary.

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

Yes the Stress Coat can be used with Aquarium Salt just fine with no issues.

I added the formula to the existing water (make sure you have good circulation) and didn't do a water change until I had completed the treatment (it suggests this on the bottle as well). Just be very careful with scaless fish such as puffers b/c the treatment is pretty toxic for them.

I had a difficult fresh water ich issue last year and found that Mardel Maracide worked better. I increased the water temperature to 82 to help with the medication. I think Goldfish like colder water, so I'm not sure about how they will tolerate higher temps. The problem is probably water quality related.

Yes you can. The only thing the salt system eliminates is putting in Chlorine. You still have to put the other ones in to balance the PH & kill the algae. If you want to use chlorine & not the salt system you can just run the pump in 'run pump' mode where it doesn't check the salt content of the water but circulates the water.

Not recommended anymore because of brain eating amoebas killing a couple of people after using tap water and a different sinus irrigation product. (Sounds crazy I know, but Google it) Just use distilled, filtered or boiled along with regular salt. As the others have said, regular salt does burn more than the premixed solutions. It doesn't really bother me though.

I can get back to you about it I am not 100% certain but I am pretty sure that my friend uses it with salt water aquariums. He works at the world largest aquatic pet store so I can ask him for you..

Yes! It contains live bacteria and it does wonders for your tanks health. I use it half dose twice weekly with my water changes and it's amazing how clean and fresh my tanks and my pond look. I used to get a build up of gunk on the hoses, plants and hard to clean area's but since I've been using this my equipment looks brand new. Great stuff...wouldn't raise fish without it!

I would not do that. Not sure how this stuff affects ph etc... Use aquarium specific materials.

Yeah, thanks everyone. Really confusing reading online some people say nothing but salt, others say bleach, borax, stabilizer, shock. It's hard to know how to start it. Picking up my pool today and I have my three bags of salt and saltwater generator ready and waiting!
