It does not matter if it is an inground or above ground you need to super chlorinate to kill the bad things in the water that you can not see with the naked eye, and have sparkling water the sun will consume or remove the chlorine from the pool if you shock your pool, do it at night when everyone is finished swimming for in the morning you can let people back into the pool to enjoy the clean water, some people just find it easier to just super chlorinate their above ground pools or shock because of the small amount of gallons of water to treat you need to keep the chlorine level up, for if you do not you are asking for problems.

When making salt water for marine fish what ratio of water to salt do you need to keep the fish healthy?

One pound of salt for every one gallon of fresh water. Also, as the water evaporates, add only fresh water...and slowly! When I kept fish, I would drain half of the remaining water, then mix in the fresh water, then put the mixture back into the tank. This prevents the fish from getting a fresh water shock. The water will evaporate and leave the salt behind, so if you add more salt, it will be too much.
