API Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 16 OZ

The Natural Health Booster for Your Tank

Give your fish the edge they need to thrive. API Freshwater Aquarium Salt is made from evaporated sea salt and is a must-have for any serious fish keeper. Unlike table salt, which contains harmful additives, this pure formula is designed to provide essential electrolytes that fish lose during times of stress, illness, or water changes.

How It Benefits Your Aquarium:

• Promotes Healthy Gill Function: Helps fish "breathe" easier by improving the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide through the gills.
• Reduces Stress: Replaces vital electrolytes (like sodium, magnesium, and calcium) that fish need to maintain osmotic balance, especially after a move or a large water change.
• Natural Disease Defense: Helps in the prevention and treatment of external parasites and fungal infections by supporting the fish's natural slime coat.
• Speeds Up Healing: Ideal for use when treating "Ich" or fin damage, as it eases the metabolic load on the fish while they recover.

Why Choose the 16 oz Size?

• Perfect for Maintenance: This size is ideal for the average hobbyist, providing enough salt to treat several standard water changes for 20–55 gallon tanks.
• Easy-to-Pour Granules: The consistent crystal size dissolves easily in a bucket of water before being added to the tank.

Dosing Instructions:

• General Maintenance: Add 1 rounded tablespoon for every 5 gallons (19 L) of aquarium water.
• Disease Treatment: Dosage may be increased based on the specific needs of the fish species (check compatibility for scaleless fish).
• Note: Aquarium salt does not evaporate. Only add more salt when performing a water change, based on the volume of new water added.
