How Does Salt Work ia an Aquarium ?
Salt essentially causes death by dehydration. By raising the salinity of the aquarium water. Water is sucked out of the bacteria, fungus, or parasite as osmosis seeks to balance the salt concentration on each side of its membrane or skin. These tiny microorganisms dehydrate faster than the fish (because the fish has more mass and stored water).Therefore the pathogens end up dying before their hosts do. However, some microorganisms can withstand higher salinity. Which is why salt is not a 100% bulletproof solution.
Note: aquarium salt does not evaporate or get filtered out
