(1.12) this will get you close. .28 makes 1 gallonAnyone know how much reef crystals I would need to make 4 gallons of 35ppt? I think it is about 1.2 pounds but not sure of exact measurement. Thanks!
Half a cup usually makes a gallon with most salt mixes.
SWAG and tweak!I just pour in a bunch of salt, and add water, measure conductivity, and adjust as needed.
cant say for reef crystals but for fritz rpm it is 2 and a half cups per 5 gallons for 35ppt/1.026 ( just made 150 gallons of saltwater and used 72 cups to =/- to get 1.026 on my refractometer). would be nice if fritz would have a chart or something their instructions as on box suck balls basically might as well add salt and test with hydrometer or refractometer till you get desired salinity.Anyone know how much reef crystals I would need to make 4 gallons of 35ppt?

on their website they have a calculator for 1 gallon of water it take 0.314 pounds of salt to get 1.026 or 35ppt salinity.cant say for reef crystals but for fritz rpm it is 2 and a half cups per 5 gallons for 35ppt/1.026 ( just made 150 gallons of saltwater and used 72 cups to =/- to get 1.026 on my refractometer). would be nice if fritz would have a chart or something their instructions as on box suck balls basically might as well add salt and test with hydrometer or refractometer till you get desired salinity.
but people are asking about cups because most people dont keep a scale to measure salt LOL. so my answer is sound, 2.5 cups per 5 gallons to get 1.026 or 35ppton their website they have a calculator for 1 gallon of water it take 0.314 pounds of salt to get 1.026 or 35ppt salinity.
For all of the money people here throw around on equipment, a $20 digital scale is a small price to pay. Most accurate way to measure any ingredients, be it salt for our tanks, or flour for a cake.but people are asking about cups because most people dont keep a scale to measure salt LOL. so my answer is sound, 2.5 cups per 5 gallons to get 1.026 or 35ppt
