If it is epistylis this is how i treated it, others may treat it different also when i treated my fish weren't as far as long as yours.
but yes i would add 1 tble spoon of salt per 5 gallons then every other day i would do a 80% WC with a very through vacuum making sure to vacuum the sand or gravel what ever you got when the epistylis falls off that's why you vacuum and redose with the salt.
It will actually clear off the fish in about 2-3 weeks but i keep doing it for a month to make sure its gone out of the water column and not in your sand or gravel

Thanks!
As far as regular water changes go, let’s say without any sick fish, should I be adding salt or anything else to the tank other than conditioner? I realize this is a whole other debate and there are a lot of different opinions. As far as salt though, should I add after each regular wc? Not just when treating sick fish but every wc

Ok not talking to anyony one person , lots of folks read these ,,..Big fish are crazy maintenance, imo....one adult Oscar in a 75gallon, is two tidal 110's , nothng but course sponge inside .....and believe it or not , blasted out twice a day , morning and night.......getting the poop out this frequently .....dramatically improves water quality and.... "lowers" the need for large bio areas.....many many ways to go here.....after a awhile you become a expert.....as are many on mfk
