i need some for my 4ltre fish bowl - that i'm going to use to breed my amano shrimps in - the larvae need +30ppm salinity
I dont want lots of salt but just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest make or place to get some

cheers sarah

30ppm isnt very much at all

you want about 30-35ppt or in layman terms 1.020-1.025 Sg, measure with a calibrated refractometer

this stuff is pretty cheap

i got a refractometer and a salinity/thermometer thingy lol
so where can i get a bit of salt cheap ?
have to do water changes 20% every 2 days - which isnt much but need to do it for a few weeks until the larve transform into shrimplets and then have to reduce the salinity down gradually to normal fresh water

how much salt do you think i'd need ?
