Another Salt Mixing Question

[Dizzy1831]

Does anyone have the mixing directions for Coralife Salt. I seem to have lost mine, and am in the middle of making some.

1/2 cup per gallon of water should get you to 1.023, I think. If I'm mixing 5 gallons, I'll usually do 3 cups, then end up having to add more later. I'm sure there is a mathematical formula I could use to get me to 1.025, but I'm not that smart...

Water first, add heater, powerhead, and salt. Let it mix for a couple hours (some people say 24) and you should be good to go.

I dump some in....measure with refractometer after it mixes, add more if needed, add RO/DI if too high.

Actually I think it was .4 cups per gallon......actual directions read 4 cups per 10 gallons I believe.

Really? Guess maybe I should read the directions. Go on the low side--it's easy to add more salt.

I mix 2.5 cups to make 5 gal
This comes out 1.025
