Goldfish bottom of tank..

I'm have read a previous message and all the option and mine still seem different. I first had one fish sitting there now all three are sitting on the bottom, I've added the salt (when just the one was on the bottom) I did what the Glimmering Goldfish site said - I used kosher salt it has been a couple of days and now the other two have joined the first at the bottom. If they are disturbed they appear to be healthy, but when they are sitting there their fins appear to be curled under, more like they are conserving energy.

Could there now be too much salt in the tank??? I have done all the water checks and they are fine, I know I haven't allowed the 'good bacteria' to build in the filter as yet, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to clean to 'sponge' in the Whispher filter, thus the reason for the cloudy water in my tank. PLEASE HELP...I'm going out of town for a week in a couple of days and I don't want to loose my fish. Thanks! BTW tank is 30 gallon, just regular gold fish.
