Don't salt unless "needed".
Definition of "needed"? .1% at spring start up (more than enough to handle nitrite spike and prevent BBD. Also, salt in Hospital tank for helpo in healing. Finally, to help if an osmotic imbalance in a Koi (elevate by .3%). To add salt just as a "routine" or to combat parasites is, well, for lack of a better term, "silly".
No doubt that "solar salt" without additives in the blue bulk bags is the best for the money.
I was curious though about Koiczar's comment about "pellets". Why not pellets Mike? As long as there are not additives, its been my experience they work just fine...a little slower to disolve than the rock, and alot slower than the Solar. But, in a pinch, it works just fine.....as long as "no additives".
