should i add salt?

[finfan]

i have a new aquarium going through cycling, this is the 6th day, right now the ammonia reading is zero, the nitrite reading is .75, ph is 7.6 (houston galleria tap water), anyway, i have several tetras (5 glowlight, 2 black neon, 2 cardinals), i know they are schooling and i will add more once cycling is done, i have a 30 gal tall acrylic tank and my substrate is EC and i have added several live plants and want to grow them

given all this, does adding aquarium salt help the fish/plants?  if so, should i dissolve it first in a cup and then add?

please advise me on general aquarium salt usage for tanks

given i have tetras and plan on adding more when cycle is complete, should i not worry, i also plan to get german rams several months later once my tank is well established and the plants are growing well, will salt affect rams?

Re: should i add salt?

No salt for the plants or the rams, at least that's what I wouldn't add. Keep with your water changes cause thay amount of nitrite could prove to be lethal for the fish.

Don't add anything else till that reads 0 along with the ammonia.
