I just changed out my 55gal. Cichlids tank gravel for sand yesterday, which included a 100% water change. With a change this drastic do i need to add any aquarium salt?
I think that I should but I can not find anyhwere that states an ammount for Cichlids.
Any ideas?

aquarium salt either helps with stress or/and illness.

I add aquarium (2 tablespoons to a 55 gal) every week (each MOnday). Never hurts. Just be careful the salt is placed in an area that does not touch fish or invertebrates for it will burn them.

2 Tablespoon weekly regardless of illness or stress never hurts unless your fish cannot handle it (what fish do you ave outside of the above-mentioned).

hope this helps

I have 2 tanks but the Q is just for my Cichlids. I went by the instructions and did 1 teaspoon per 5 gal. of water. I do a 25-30% water change everyweek plus a 50% monthly. I norm put a teaspoon in weekly per water change.

What kind of sand is it?

this is what i put in my tang tanks...

For every 5 US Gallons of water, add 1-tablespoon Epsom salt, 1-tablespoon baking soda, and 1-teaspoon marine salt.

but that's to raise the PH and GH/KH to where i want it... and my tap water PH is 7.8...

on cichlid-forum they say to put...

For every 5 US Gallons of water, add 1-tablespoon Epsom salt, 1-teaspoon baking soda, and 1-teaspoon marine salt.

kind of the same... anyways... those are the only salts i put in any african cichlid tank... that's actually the recipe for those expensive cichlid rift lake salts...

i bought some white pool filtration sand from home depot. Five bucks for a 50lb bag, it is alot cleaner than regular play sand but it still requires alot of rinsing to get clean
