I use a bit of aquarium salt in my freshwater tank to ward off fungus infections. 1/2 teaspoon per 5 gal. Will this throw off this testing kit?

I would not use salt keep you water clean. Keep a good filtration system on the tank vary the diet of the fish and quarantine any new or ill fish to prevent the spreading of any fungus. Also keep your temp steady so that you don't stress your fish. Monitor your water, temp, and fish regularly and it should be fine.

You probably can, but you really don't need the salt if using the fungus clear.

Yes. I use one teaspoon per gallon, plus 3 ounces of nonionic surfactant. I've used two different brands of surfactant - one needed 3 tsp/gal and the other only 2 tsp/gal. I was primarily treating nutsedge, which is tough stuff. I needed two applications -- first one got about 60% of it, and then I spot treated about 3 weeks later for the rest. I followed up a year later with another spot treatment and that's pretty well knocked it out. Impressive product.

I know nothing about salt water - but I have a 55 gal fresh water setup with a home made undergravel filter - just PVC pipes and the Cobalt Power head. It's been running for a few months now and I have not done anything with the tank or water and it's perfectly clear and the fish seem to be happy. So it works great for my setup.

Not sure because I have a 500 gallon tub. I use one capful Of non-chlorine After each use or once a week. Try calling the manufacturer for an answer or your local hot tub specialist good luck

I think it could be, it measures acidity not salinity. I use mine for beer brewing not fish tanks. Test some tap water then test some saline water and observe the difference, if any.

I used the meter to measure the salinity of a swimming pool that had a great deal less salt than a saltwater aquarium and it worked just fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work for an aquarium.

Yes the Stress Coat can be used with Aquarium Salt just fine with no issues.

It only counts the solutes or the salt particles as far as I see in the description and I tried it once then I gave it as agift to friend. I do not think it will help in that but it worth trying.

We used two of these on our 55g brackish water aquarium. Maybe the reason they didn't last was because of the extra salt it was filtering.

I'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

I can't say , I have done several water changes since I first put this in my tank . My sponges still hold bacteria. So I haven't used it since I cycled my tank. I just keep testing my water, I have fancy gold fish

The bottle does not specifically address your question, it just says 'safe for ALL aquarium inhabitants. You may do well to contact the mfr at Hagen.com.

I would use no more than 2 tbsp per gallon of water. If needed increase to 3 for bad infestations

It works for any kind of fish fungus. Inside or outside of fish. Use in fresh and salt water fish aquariums.

No. You would want the AquaChek Salt Test Strips. You can also search for the "Aquachek Salt System" which includes both the AquaChek Yellow and the AquaChek Salt Test Strips together.
