Epsom Salt

Hey to all fish owners that like fish that require harder water..... I found a cheap, healthy solution!! Epsom salt works great for hardening your water, while not effecting other things like PH.... Just wanted to share.

It's also great for healing ripped fins and other small wounds

It's also a laxative and helps fish with digestion problems

It is also a derivative of methamphetamines and will provide a faster moving fish. jk.

It's also good for....potatos.

It's also good for cracked nasty man feet!!!

it can cure herpes.... anyone try that yet? LOL j/k

but seriously, everybody better use epsom salt from now on!!

How much per Gal.?

epsom salt sounds good and cheap but I was told it will also will be absorbed by the fish through the skin and gills much like saltwater fish do. Not sure if thats a good thing for freash water fish. True? not true? I use aquarium salt in very small tiny amounts not to raise levels but to keep the water healty and ward off any bugs.

yes, epsom salt is very good for the fish... it works as a natural laxative to clear our bowels, helps prevent bloat!

I like to use a tablespn per 5gallons

I've heard 1 TEAspoon per 5 gallons; for Epsom Salt (MgSO4-Magnesium Sulfate). (Whereas aquarium salt is dosed at 1 TABLEspoon per 5 gallons; NaCl-Sodium Chloride)

Thank You all!
