Well, I am treating my tank for ich and I just thought I would share how I am adding salt to my tank. It's kind of ghetto rigged, but that’s what happens at college with limited resources, time and space, but here is what I came up with.

I previously would mix it in a 5 gallon bucket and stack up boxes to get the bucket above the tank. Needless to say, it was very heavy, took a lot of time and was rather dangerous and the bucket looked like it was going to tumble down every time I looked at it!!! Now, I have a screw valve attached to the tubing to adjust the flow of the water so it is a drip, slowing adding salted water to my tank.
 
Clever idea :clap: :clap:
Wish I'd have thought of it. I even have IV tubing and a bag around left over from a Halloween costume I could have stuck the salt water in. If there's a next time I'm prepared!!
