    It doesn't say what type of salt it is though...it says H-E-B (the store's name) Quality Iodized Salt.

    Ooooo...I have another type of salt that I got from a grocery store. It's iodized 45%, but it's not anti-caking. Would it work?

    That is what you want to avoid...anti-caking agents

    Can the salt have calcium silicate. It says it's an anticaking agent.

    Good idea, QT and aquarium salt 1tsp/gal and 100% daily water changes is a good treatment when caught and treated early

    He has fungal infection and I'm thinking about trying salt before medication.

    I have never used sea salt and not sure what it is to give a good answer, do you have kosher salt, what you want to avoid is the anti-caking, the iodine in low doses is usually not harmful to salt tolerant fish

    Hi Oldfishlady Ares is sick and I don't have aquarium salt to work with, so would it be ok to use sea salt without iodine??
