Isn't there a calculator or formula that would tell me how many cups, teaspoon, lbs of salt i need to add to X amount of water in order to reach a certain SG level?

I have a 120gal aquarium. In your article you recommend that i get a container that is at least 75% of the total volume of your aquarium. I don't know if i want to store a 45 gal drum in my appartement

Every type/ batch of marine mix could be different you need to measure the salinity to know exactly

How large is your tank & what are the inhabitants?

A huge +1 to bertie's comments above.

Not only is every mix different, but the mix is very strongly hydroscapic, so tankes up water when it is opened and thus changes weight/density constanly when exposed to air. The end density must be checked before use.
