Making my own salt water?

[gleach]

So I got my bucket, heater, powerhead, salt, and ro/di (making 0 tds water. My question is how much salt do I add per gallon to make 1.025?

Should say it on the box?

Says half cup per gal to get 1.022 that's all. I was just checking to see if anyone know a way to bring that to 1.024 or 1.025?

add more salt. Add to 1/3-1/2 cup per gallon and test it, then keep adding salt until you have your desired salinity.

Once you do it a few times you'll know pretty much exactly how much salt to add

Does 0 tds make a big difference for corals, say if it was 0.08 prior. I bought this ro/di because my lfs had tds of 0.08 and I read that any tds is a no go? I have been battling some Brown algae so I hope this helps.
