    Major Salt Problem!

    Most Tanks Will Have It. Depends On Your Enviroments Humidity Levels. In The Winter The Air Is Dry So There Is More Evaporation. But Don't Let Anything Fall Into The Tank. If A Fish Eats It Thinking It's Food. It Will Burn The Stomach And Fins Are Could Cause Death.

    You don't say what type of critters u have,some may become stressed from not eating ( like tangs) they love to eat. If u are going to spread out the feedings, look for garlic flavored foods. It will help keep the fish healthy . Good luck

    Hello, My first question would be " why do u ask". I would only sugest 50% or more as an emergency if something went wrong with your water. 20% should be fine if you mantain your practice.
