0.15% ... about 3 teaspoons per 5 gallons. 0.9lbs per 100 gallons. Ingrid

Seems very low Ingrid. I already use one cup of salt into a 60g tank
which is 4 teaspoons per 5 gallons.

Your 156 ppt should be 1.5%, not .15%

15% would be 15 pph (parts per hundred)
1.5% would then be 15 ppt.

To get a rough 0.3% salt solution I always use 1 tablespoon per gallon.

That's convenient. Every teaspoon per gallon is 0.1% then, kewl (I'm
getting old and I need all the memory aids I can remember).
