Hey everybody. This is my first post so please take it easy on me.
The reason i'm posting is because I just put up a 55 gallon tank and followed the instructions on the instant ocean bag to use 1/2 cup of salt for a gallon of water and its only showing a specific gravity of 1.018. I have added 2 more cups of salt to the water and now I am to 1.022. At this point I am wondering if this is normal for the measurements to be that far off with instant ocean or if I should worry about my hydrometer being off. (used 2 diff hydrometers)
