    If you have a salt meter you can use it to calculate the exact water volume in your system, including filters pretty accurately!
    Salt weight in kg added, divide by % reading then multiply by 100 will give you your volume in litres, to get gallons, divide by 4.54.
    But remember, you only want to measure the change that the salt has made so it is essential to take a reading “before” adding any additional salt as there may still be some residual salt from a previous dosing or often tap water has trace elements and allow the salt to mix thoroughly through the whole system, say 24 hours!

    I understand how salt would possibly kills parasites, in fact I have used marine salt in my pond when I have thought there is a problem with the fish. The one thing, and you mentioned the water changes, is that water evaporates, salt doesn't, water changes are essential.

      I actually think the salt can be more effective than some treatments because it's a lot more stable and not easy to flush out. But definitely salt should not be seen as the first and only choice.
