Walter, I got a 10 gallon aquarium for mixing my salt, I put a mark on it with black permanent marker for 5 gallons as well, so if I only need to do a 5 gallon water change, I fill the tank to that mark, add my salt and let a power head run over night, next day the water is ready for the change.
To start off get yourself a container with a known capacity, get it reasonably full and then add some salt, mix well and check SG, once you figure out how much salt to add, you'll be set. When I used Marine Environment and Bio Sea, I could never count on the SG being the same, little own the Ca or anything, it's one of the reasons I swear by kent, it's IO with some additives, if IO were cheaper I'd use IO, they are made in the same plant by the same people.
