violet goby

How much marine salt per gallon do violet gobies require? I plan to purchase one and place it in a 30 gal. while still small.

Whatever it takes to give you a specific gravity of 1.005-1.010....you need to go buy yousrelf a hydrometer to accurately measure and maintain that salinity level.

Yes it does it really matter haow much salt you put in the tank.Just that the specific gravity is about
1.005-1.015

Agreed, you need a hydrometer to measure the salt level.

It takes about a cup of marine salt/5gal to raise the SG .005. You musn't raise it more than .002/weekly water change, or you'll cause the tank system to crash.

also, check your salinity at the temperature that you intend to keep your fish. The gravity will change as your temp changes!
