Thanks for the good info.
I am new to the hobby, so simplicity is going to help my success. The less I add to my water, the better. It will be easier for me to maintain a balanced tank when I don't add stuff. We want our next fish to be Mollies, so this is very timely. I always heard Mollies need salt. I know we also want clown loaches, so I was concerned about hurting one or the other, in regards to the salt. Load off my mind.

True, and the sad part is, even when smacked between the eyes with the facts, they still won't believe them.
