Hi Randy, this question is not really for me but somone in the new to the hobby forum. Hes asking how much teaspoons of salt to raise his sg from 1.020 to 1.026 . I calculated his actual volume of water from literes(19)to gallons minus his sand(1 liter of sand.....) its 4.75 gallons of water( I know its small :lol: . But he/she wishes to know He is using instant ocean.

I checked it, but with the archive site that hosts Craig Bingman's salt mix article is down right now (his article shows how much water is in various salt mixes). So I can't really calculate how much is needed. I wouldn't raise salinity without being able to measure it, however.
