epsom salt is a completely different chemical. It will aid in flushing them out. It's not Sodium Chloride you don't want the salinity that high

thanks, how do I measure .4%? is there a formula or am I looking at a specific gravity reeding?

so 256 tblsp per gallon.

256x20= 5120

5120x0.0040= 20.48 so I need 20 tablespoons of epson salt?

 

[dodgefreak8]

dose at 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons. this is the commonly used dose
