Since my GSP's are growing, i've decided it is time to convert to brackish water, however i've read much conflicting information telling me...

a) two tablespoons per gallon of water
b) 2-4 cups of marine salt per 10 gallons
c) two teaspoons per 1 gallon of water

anybody know? i know that i need to get a hydrometer to measure the SG or specific gravity which should be approximately 1.010 - 1.015 for high end brackish, but i'm getting that tomorrow. does anybody keep a brackish setup???

Thanks!

Not sure, but I am confident that 2-4 cups of salt in 10 gallons of water would be brine.

yeah i got my hydrometer today and it read 1.008 SG so i'm assuming that i'm not too far off, i guess i'll continue to take samples from my water and see what i end up with. lol
