need to know..

Which beneficial bacteria?

 

[KrisReef]

If you fill the aquarium with salt it won’t matter?
I don’t know if bacteria can survive desiccated on aquarium salt but I have never heard of salt mix causing bacterial issues so I’d guess not with normal premixing

Yes, salt kills bacteria. That is why it is used to preserve food.
