you can, it can be any salt dissolved in water, including sodium chloride
How much salt is in a salt water aquarruim?
The typical salinity level in a saltwater aquarium is around 1.025, which means there is about 35 grams of salt per liter of water. This salinity level is crucial for the health of marine organisms as it helps maintain the proper balance of ions within their bodies. It's important to regularly test and adjust the salinity level to ensure the well-being of the aquarium inhabitants.
Can Astrea Snails survive in normal bottled water If not how do I make the water according to their need salinity?
No. Also, do not use table salt or aquarium salt -- use an artificial seawater mix such as Instant Ocean. Seawater has a lot more in it than just salt! Saltwater snails like Astrea require a specific gravity (salinity) of 1.024 to 1.026. You can buy a hydrometer at most retail pet stores that sell fish/supplies, or online, to test the salinity when making saltwater from a mix. You should also test the salinity of your aquarium periodically. Snails are very sensitive to rapid changes in salinity, so you should frequently replace water in your aquarium lost to evaporation. Letting too much evaporate for too long and then dumping in a bunch of replacement water can send snails into shock or even kill them.
What is a salinity?
Salinity usually refers to the percentage of dissolved salt in water. A salinity meter simply measures this. 3.5% salinity = 35g of salt/Litre (this is your average salt water)
What does aquarium salt do freshwater guppies?
Aquarium salt can be used as a medication for certain illnesses of tropical fish including guppies, and used at the correct concentrations for a specified time, it could help a guppy get better from its illness.

How do you make saltwater for aquarium?
