Default Sea Salt

Thats great to be able to throw perfectly good salt away due to not
wanting to store or measure it. There has been a few times I sure
wished I had just 1/2 cup more salt..........Its not a big deal to add
a little salt or water to adjust........at least not to me. And a
buck saved is a buck I can spend on other things instea dof buying the
same thing in "exact" quanitity at a later date....Gues I am just a
pack rat and too frugal to trash something that way... To each their
own.

Well, we guestimated the amount to mix when we set up the tank. Added a bit
later to get the SG correct. That left enough salt in the bucket to make up 50
or 60 gallons of water.

I usually make up about 27 gallons at a time in a big trash can. I usually buy a
box the right size for 25 gallons of water. It all works out ok. I didn't want
to be playing around adding salt a little at a time to get the SG correct for
the next two water changes.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.
