My lfs guy told me as a general rule that 1/2 cup salt mix to 1 gallon of water was the ratio.
After doing so my SG was 1.020. Im am trying to get it to 1.026. I have added more salt (about a cup) and it increased to 1.022ish.
BTW This is for my quarantine tank, my actual tank has not arrived yet. I also gave the salt 24 hrs to dissolve.
I have to keep adding more salt and waiting 24 hrs each time.
Tonight I just addded approx another cup, and will see what the sg is tomorrow.
Does anyone have another general ratio to use? I feel that I should just add more salt than needed and then dilute as necessary, so I dont have to keep waiting the 24hrs and then test.
FYI- My quarantine tank is 29 gallons, and no there are no fish in it yet.
Thx Mark
