This is a very high salt concentration. In my experience, it is guaranteed
to melt many plants. Amazons and vals are more tolerant of salt; that's one
reason they're the only plants that survive in my goldfish tanks.

Try keeping your salt concentration no higher than 1 tsp per gallon. IMHO,
that seems to be the cut-off point.

Is there a reason you put so much salt into your tank?
