i am new to this hobby and read a few months ago to add salt to the water when changing it. I have been adding a teaspoon of table salt to the water. Is this Ok or should I buy aquarium salt. I have a 65 gallon and the fish are healthy and happy except for an Ick outbreak from 3 new fish.

You did, and it is.
If salt is required at all, that is.
That's myth #1 drawn out of the woodwork...

I'm not dippin' my oar in the water this time. I'm just going to lie back against the cushions here and trail my fingers in the water and watch the patterns of clouds and trees... Break out the Saltines and anchovies, willya?
