Puffer Parasite?

Hello, My name is Cullen and last week I broke the cardinal rule of research before purchase. I’ve been keeping freshwater tanks for a couple of years now, with a fair amount of success and very few casualties. Last week while at the pet store, looking for a small ornamental fish for a newly cycled 2.5gal, my girlfriend fell in love w/ a small leopard puffer. I bet you can guess which fish we came home with. So here I am with this very interesting little fish, with very special needs. I knew before the purchase that puffers were BW fish so I’ve begun slowly bringing the salt content up, the LFS of course had him in FW. Now after combing the puffer posts on your site (GREAT BY THE WAY!) I have some questions. Question 1, What is the difference between marine salt and standard aquarium salt that is produced from salt water?
