Frequently Asked Questions
How to use API AQUARIUM SALT?
+
Dissolve 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons in a bucket of water first, then add gradually to the tank. Use during water changes or quarantine to relieve stress. Maintain salinity below 0.1% to protect freshwater fish health.
How much API AQUARIUM SALT per litre?
+
Add approximately 1 gram per liter (0.5 teaspoon per gallon) for therapeutic doses. For prevention, half that amount suffices. Always dissolve fully before pouring to avoid shocking sensitive species.
Can I mix salt directly in my aquarium?
+
No, pre-dissolve salt in tank water first to prevent localized high concentrations harming fish gills. Gradual addition over hours ensures even distribution and osmoregulation without stress.
Can I use aquarium salt daily?
+
Daily use is for short-term treatments only, up to 7 days. For maintenance, add sparingly during weekly changes. Overuse increases salinity, stressing plants and scaleless fish in the long term.
What are the benefits of API AQUARIUM SALT?
+
Enhances respiration through improved gill efficiency, restores lost electrolytes after changes, boosts natural pigmentation, eases transport/quarantine stress, and accelerates recovery from parasites or minor infections.
I use this aquarium salt regularly to keep my fish healthy and improve their gill function. It’s a great addition to my water care routine and helps maintain a balanced aquarium.
