Salt water bubbler

That is a nice picture! Great view of your tank

Thank you I have another question:) I bought 2 pieces of tempered glass for the top and they fit really tight. Will the bubblers be enough to give the tank oxygen?

Yw! No, the bubblers only aerate the surface of the water pools. Depending on the depth, it might put a little oxygen into the water - this is heavily debated by many hobbyists. But if you change your food daily, when you open your lid there will be enough of an air exchange for your tank

I change her food and water mostly every day if not every other day.

I you still need to treat spring water to be safe
Sounds like the air exchange will be fine!

The directions called for 1/2 cup to 1 gallon water. Your two cents is welcome I'm new at this.

1/2 cup Per US gallon is correct. If you need smaller measurements, you could do 1/8 c per quart. 1 quart is pretty much the same as a liter (1.05 quart = 1 liter). Don't forget to add the Prime (or similar). Prime is 1 drop per 2 liters. I used to fill a container with 2 liters of water, treat with Prime, then add salt to 1 of those liters.

Ive been using Poland springs water and not treating it. Is that ok?

I don't know. Maybe another crabber can answer that. If you go to the Prime website, it says all the stuff that Prime removes from water. For myself, I'd want to contact the Poland water manufacturer and maybe do some research on their website and elsewhere to identify exactly what is typically in their water, and if the stuff that Prime removes is present, you'd definitely want to use the Prime (or a similar product on the recommended product list) But the Poland water folks could change the composition of their water with no notice to you, as long as it still meets standards for human consumption. I would treat the Poland water myself, just to be on the safe side, but I haven't done any research about it, it's just my general approach to life.

Definitely use the prime for any water you use for the tank.
