I have had an attack of the dreaded ich ( http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum ... .php?t=293 ) and would like to keep the water salinity at a level that will help prevent its recurrence.

Anyone have ideas on how high you can go before crops will suffer? I plan on planting lettuce, coriander, basil, chilis and maybe some toms.

I think a hydro grower would answer that best.

Someone who's industry, as the chemical ferts are mainly salts.
