salt

someone who recently was doing 30% water changes daily to improve the health of their fish, asked whether they should add salt each time to the new water, the answer I think is no, because as water evaporates it leaves salt behind, it would become too concentrated, a little AQUARIUM salt is beneficial, I add a tablespoon to say 40 galls every six months, anyone else use it routinely?

Re: salt

I have used aquarium salt in both of my fish tanks since the beginning. I use half the dosage that is listed on the box. I only add new salt with each water change since the salt doesn't filter out. I have seen no adverse effects on my bp's. They both have very bright orange coloring and are very healthy and happy.
