I initially sent this to NWK.  I may have had the wrong Chris and 
List.  Anyway this may make it easier to a a salt dose to the water.  These 
levels of salt may be to low for normal conductivity meters and this method 
should be much more accurate then using a meter.


Kris/Chris:

You can also do it by volume.  A standard tablespoon is 14.79 ml (that is 
what is marked on my measuring set spoon).   I use 1/2 teaspoon (2.49 ml) 
per gallon.  That expands to 25 ml/10 gal.  My measuring cups indicate that 
1/2 cup is 125 ml; that would be 50 gallons worth.  A standard tablespoon 
(15 ml) is three teaspoons (5) by volume.  I got this one from my Betty 
Crocker cook book.  The normal fish tank salting level is between 1/2 and 1 
teaspoon.  Your dose of 1 tablespoon per five gallons in the middle.

But, please check my math.
