Reputation Level:  |  salt or no salt in quarantine tank
hi all
is it a good thing to have salt in a quarantine tank all the time or no salt at all.
i read some where last night to have a good amount in the quarantine tank all the time but wanted to ask before i went and put some in. also if yes then what amount to a 240 gallon tank.

i wouldnt add salt , until you need to , as its a great thing to have on hand , and over use could lead it to being less effective in the future . | |
