Hey everybody! Long time no see, again. rolleyes.gif

It's been a while since I've used salt. Can anyone let me know how to get a 1% concentration in a ten gallon tank? Thanks much!

Thanks Emily!

There are 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, so 3 tablespoons would equal 9 teaspoons.

If you have gravel and/or ornaments:
I would add 9 teaspoons
OR
3 tablespoons

For a bare tank:
I would add 10 teaspoons
OR 3 1/3 tablespoons

this will give you an approx. 0.1% salt concentration
