RedSea Coral Pro Salt Mix Ratio

[SilverCityReef]

Does anyone happen to know the salt to water mixing ratio for the RedSea Coral Pro salt? I quickly looked over the bucket but I don't see the measurements or ratio on there. I bought exactly enough for what I need, 55gal bucket, but I have to make two separate batches due to size of barrel.

It’s 1/2 cup per gallon.

It’s 1/2 cup per gallon.

Thank you. I figured it would be on the bucket but unless I'm blind, I don't see it.

I agree with the 1/2 cup but be sure to leave a little room in your mixing drum to dilute if need be. Mine always seems to mix a little bit high when using 1/2 a cup per gallon.

It’s 38.2g per litre to be exact if you can convert that if your in gallons, thats to mix to a salinity of 35ppm

It’s printed on the side of the buckets in a chart for salinities etc

Hope this helps

i use a 5 gallon bucket and do 4 scoops 1/2 cup each, test it, it's usually a little low like 1.020, then add usually another half cup or so, then test again. now that i have it down, naturally i had to buy the 200 gallon box of reef crystals on black friday so i'll have to figure that one out soon

I am not sure about any of this. I use a 16 gallon muck bucket when doing water changes as I do 15 gallons at a time. Ever since switching to Red Sea Coral Pro salt it doesn't take much to bring it up to 1.024. In fact I dumped 2 5 gallon buckets in and 4 - 1/2 cup scoops and thats all it took and it was at 1.024
