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.

Yup, that what I'm going to be doing. Actually, I made a deal with incoma for his sand and live rock. It was sooner than I was expecting to set up my tank, so It's been a rush the last 2 days to get it set up for Friday Plus, this is my first salt tank.
