Salt mix calculator

Select the salinity you want and the amount of water you want to mix and we'll calculate the approximate weight of salt to add. Marine fish are best kept at a salinity of 35 ppt. For long-term baths on freshwater fish, a level of 1-3 ppt is advised. However, this is a complicated subject and we recommend you read the FAQs first.
