tank update

46 gal- My gps is not stress line free :D raised the salinity and put a few floating plants to block some of the light. seems to be liking it. My crayfish is in hiding mode because he is shedding his outside layer. so i have a naked crayfish for the next few days. :lol: 10gal- Had a good day at work...

raising salinity?

I am having problems raising my salinity. I have a 45gal (46 bow but not totally filled) at 1.005 Does anyone have an equation that would help me figure out how to raise it more accurately?
