Alan Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi gang. On behalf of an aquaintance of mine, I've been asked if it is ok to use salt, that you can get by the bag, from Farmlands? He is wanting to start up a heavy brackish tank for some scats. In doing so, he has got this type of salt, and put in some mollies to cycle it. So far without too much sucess. Out of the five he has bought, four have died. He wants to know, is this the fault of the salt? or is it the mollies just can't take the change from the shop tanks to his? Or any other ideas. He is 85, and I'm sure would find it a bit tedious to go collect seawater from the Ohiwa harbour. Thanks for your indulgence.

Ira Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 What kind of salt is it? I'm guessing it's just like a big bag of table salt? Then no, it's not ok. Needs to get a bag of artificial sea salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
