How to Use Supa Tonic Salt

Supa tonic salts are appropriate to fight fungus and diseases in tropical- and cold-water aquariums. The salt can used either when you have an established aquarium or when you are setting one up. Supa salt can both prevent the development of fungus and diseases and combat diseases that are already present. The salt is also used to treat water when fish arrive from natural brackish water.
