Reef Crystal Users - help

[kirkwood]

For those long time Reef Crystal users - can you tell me what the mixing ratio is to 5 gallons or 1 gallon to achieve an SG of 1.026?

I've been using Salinity the past couple years but am giving Reef Crystals a try - mainly because Dr. Fosters delivers the boxes to your door free of shipping...

1/2 cup per gallon, or 1.4 lbs per five gallons.

1/2 cup per gallon

+1...I've been doing 1/2 cup per gallon to get 1.024 reading, so maybe a hair more for 1.026(1/8 of a cup per 5 gallons) then I check with a hydrometer and adjust reading for tempature.

Thanks... This is confirming what I'm seeing now while mixing it... I was used to Seachem Salinity which mixes at 1.026 in the 2 - 2 1/3 cup range with 5 gallons.

Any issues with the Salinity or is this purely a conveniece/cost switch?

if I can remember right I put 2 3/4 cups for a five gallon bucket. And my bucket was filled about 1 inch from the top
1.026

No issues with the Salinity. 50 gets a box of RC delivered to my door. So im going to give it a try. I will be monitoring my levels closely over the next month and will switch back if i feel the need.
