Put too much salt into the tank

don't know if this will work, but try diluting it by doing water changes.

Start doing lots of water changes- do an 80% one to start with, followed by a 30-40% ones for every day after that to help reomove as much salt as posible.

ya... water changes is about the only way... unless you have something that destroys salt... but doesn;t harm the fishes

What fish are in the tank you oversalted? and what salt did you add? I'm afraid huge water changes is your only hope.

You should put your fish into a bucket of some sort. Have new water that has sat out for a day with the correct amout of salt in it wonce you have the fish inthe bucket put the new water in the tank and float the fish for about a half an hour.

You guys....wouldn't a major change in salinity shock the fish even more? If it were me I'd change no more than 50%. 50% less isn't gonna do anymore harm than what 100% has already done.
