I have a well established African cichlid tank that is about 7 years old. When I originally began keeping cichlids the store (can't remember the name but was way up GA AVE) told me to add a small amount of salt, one tablespoon per 5 gallons of water. I have not added any salt to the water for over 4 years and I keep getting salt buildup that goes over and ruins the top glass and the tank top.
My idea is to catch the few fish I have in the tank, keep them in a small aquarium, take out all of the rocks, water and clean the tank with water to get rid of any salt remains. Refill the tank with just fresh water and 8.2 proper Ph, put in instant cycle product and let it come up to the proper temperature and reintroduce the fish.
Problems and/or recomendations, just can't handle the salt anymore.
