Help: Mixing 10 gallons of NSW using H2Ocean salt
Question: 10 gallons of water to _ cups/ounces/lbs etc... of salt?
I've been using Instant Ocean, basic $39 a bucket stuff ($29 when on sale) since starting out. It says on the bucket to use 1/2 cup per 1 gallon of water. 10 gallons = 5 cups of salt. Easy peasy. I fill up the 5 gallon water cooler jugs at home with R.O. so my batches of NSW are done in 5 gallon increments. Today, bought a bucket of H2Ocean+ to try out. The label says "Add 1 Kg H2Ocean+ to 25 litres of R.O. water (1 Lb to 3 U.S. Gallons)" This can surely be figured out with a calculator but I'm jet-lagged ... Anyone? Thanks in advance! |

I'd add 1/2c per gallon. It's just salt Adjust as required.

I forgot what else I needed at J+l today, a refractometer! Doh... Oh wait, was trying to decide between the Milwaukee digital or analog Vertex, hmmm. Another paycheck with a hydrometer I guess
And just found this, someone said 1.5 cups per gallon, another used 4 per gallon? Jeez http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...hlight=H2ocean I'll try your advice Brad, thanks |

I used h20ocean salt for about a year and it mixed 4 half cups to make 4 gallons almost every single time.

Start with 2 cups (the actual 250ml cup) per 5 gallon. H20cean seems to vary a bit from batches to batches by a bit. My previous batch made 1.026 @ 2cups/gallon while the new match needs 2.3 cups/gallon.
