I would use RO and add something to raise the PH.

I thought about that, but with the usual small size of hospital tanks, it could be a little touchy to correctly mix water required for changes.

Umm i think they used real saltwater. Although i could be wrong. I have never been told i could use aquarium salt. Everyone i ever met with a SW tank has told me to use marine salt.

well i have been feeding with a garlic mix in his food. And I also gave him about a 10 second bath in straight RO water but but still no change. How long is an effective durration for a fresh water bath, is 10 seconds enough

Try a couple minutes to start with Kayleb and let us know how it goes.
