There are instructions on every bag of marine salt as how to make SW. Be sure it mixes overnight, with a heater in there.

what does that mean :? im new 2 this lol! how much salt is that per gallon etc?
There really isn't an exact amount of salt to add, every batch of salt is different, you have to measure with a hydrometer http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... catid=4952 Myaj is correct though, 1/2 cup to a gallon will bring you close to full marine.
