About Yourself:
I started as a cichlid hobbyist, turned breeder. After breeding 50 or so species of cichlids I tore down my 30 tank/1000+ gallon fish room, and built my dream in-wall reef tank in the summer of '07. I now spend hours at a time pressed against the glass of my reef.

Every passionate aquarist eventually faces a moment of crisis when a prized fish exhibits symptoms of illness, whether it is a stubborn case of Ich, frayed fins, or unexplained lethargy.
Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
