Depends what fish you keep. Some fish are brackish and their requirements may include salt others aren't so don't need salt. I've used salt purely for treating wounds or small illnesses but apart from that I don't make a habit of it.

so if using salt as a treatment how much would you be looking to put in a 200 liter tank?

Is there a particular treatment/illness you`re concerned about?
