Regular Member fortunefaded Posted February 1, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2009 Howdy Day 1: 12 tsp of salt, 1tsp per gallon. Day 2: 3 buckets emptied, i.e 45 litres, each bucket is is 15litres, 5ltr = 1 gallon Added 3 tsp of salt per new bucket in, 3 tsp of salt per 15ltr Day 3: Removed 2 buckets, i.e 30 ltrs, replaced with 6tsp of salt. Question is, what salt percentage am I at? I'm trying to keep to 0.1% and then remove it to rid the water of parasitic fin rot guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jody Posted February 1, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2009 To bring your salt to .1% dissolve 1 teaspoon (5ml) of salt for each gallon of water. To figure out your pattern so far is a little tricky. My guess is that you are around .1% One thing though 4 litres= 1 Us gallon for the salt formula of KoKo's to work. Actually 3.79 litres = 1 US gallon but 4 litres is close enough for this matter. You can get technical if you want but I find if measuring your salt in litres do with the 4 litres = 1 Gallon. You would be surly safe that way. I would do 100% water change and start over. Then when you remove water from the tank add back the salt from what you take. Also when you do a 100% wc try and measure your actual gallonage of your tank. Unless you have already done that. Hope this helps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
