the Salt ich treatment question

[kntrygrl4lyfe]

Ok I was at the site that alot of you guys post when someone has ich. well one part said
"I use table salt and many folks use pickling or canning salt"
Now does that mean that insted of going out and getting aquarium salt, I can use my normal table salt? Thanks

yes, if you can, use kosher salt. It has no additives.

table salt is NaCl
canning salt is NaCl
pickling salt is NaCl
kosher salt is NaCl

Beacuse are salt that we have at our house is called Morton Iodized Salt. Would that be ok, or do I need to go out and get a different kind

The level of Iodine is so low that it will not matter. If you are ok with being 99% safe use it. If you need that extra 1% get kosher or any non iodized salt.

I used it in mine and it worked fine. Just makes the water cloudy for a while.

No, sorry if it came out that way. I just liked the way he explained it.
