      May I ask ? Why do you want to use Epsom Salt ? Is there a reason that you feel that you need Epsom Salt ?

              I personally don't think you need to add any Epsom salt . I have rescaped my Trophs tanks many times over the years and it never hurts my fish . Trophs are not as fragile as some people think . I use to dose Epsom salt but......I later realized that I really didn't need it . I think if your fish are acting fine and eating.....then let them be .

                I ate my fish that died.

                  I use to put salt in my malawi tanks and tropheus. But I later I didn't use any, just good old Houston tap water (liquid concrete). My current petro set up has no salt added. I do use salt when I have sick fish.
