Help i have a serpae tetra with a popped out cloudy eye my ammonia is at 0 nitrite is at .3 ph is 7.5 GH is 17 ( I live in an area with very hard water but have had the tank running for 8 months ) KH is 7 we have also had a number of fish disappear and a green tiger barb with the same eye problem and died. The tetra is in the hospital for now... we do weekly 20% water changes once a week on a 110 g tank. Should we treat the tank with antibiotics?

the temp is at 80 we have only used the salt inthe hospital but never in the tank upsatirs... How much should we use?
it sounds like your tank just went through a mini-cycle, and probably killed the tiger barb and gave your searpe pop and cloudy eye. if it has both your water is probably worse. what are your nitrate readings?
a stable pH, KH and GH is better than one is fluctuating to get it into the "desirable" range.
you need to get the nitrite to 0, and very clean water should fix the problem.

yes do a big water change about 50%. what kind of test kits are you using. the only test kits i use is the liquid api tests. they seem to be the best around.
don't add salt unless you are treating for a specific disease that salt is recommended for, like ich.
