yeah what she said!!. Glad to see it was a typo, we had someone not long ago who mis-understood the dosing and it ended up pretty bad . I was a little worried that dosing was underway.hehehe, you nearly gave Dave a heart-attack....... good luck though
Iodized (treated) salt can't be good - although, like most things medicinal - it may, or may not be the cause of further ailments.DJSCIASCIA said:I always thought that Iodized salt was no good for fish and that regular table salt is fine.
Depends largely on which sea salt is being discussed. You are absolutely correct if you are talking about salt mixes for reef tanks. however in order to add to the vast confusion of salt use, there is a food grade NaCL product on the market labeled sea salt. which is as good as table salt, rock salt, kosher salt etc. for the purpose of treating ich.If you mean the stuff you use in salt water tanks, that is the one salt you aren't supposed to use. It has other stuff that isn't needed in freshwater and from what I read you really should not use that ever.
Iodide is
#1. something all living organisms need at some level.
#2. and most importantly, it is in Salt at a level that is so minute it couldn't be hazardous for short term treatment. the anti-caking agents found in most Food grade NACL are likewise in trivial quantities.
