Salinity calculator
90 gallons with a SG of 1.032
I want to be at 1.026 If I take out 4 or 5 gallons twice a day and replace with RODI, how long would it take? Good plan to get back no normal? |
If that's 90 g of actual water volume, you would need to remove about 16 gallons of water. Personally, I'd do about 2 g per day via autotopoff, if I had a slow (peristaltic) pump, maybe in two shots. I'm assuming there are corals in the system, or other invertebrates (osmoconformers).

The math:
1.000 SG means no salt content, so .026 / .032 = .8125 is the amount of salt to keep. So the amount of salt water to keep is: .8125 * 90 = 73.125 |
Thanks you Bertoni
His did you get the = .8125 ? Yes, about 90 G if water Full reef. I am using a litermeter for top off so I could take 3 gallons out every morning and have the litermeter replace in 24 hrs. PS I don’t recommend the IceCap salinity tester. |
Oops, typos fixed. Sigh! The tanks current SG is 1.032. The target is 1.026. 1.000 actually corresponds to zero salt, so you want to dilute down to .026/.032 of what is in the system, which is .8125.

If I have 100 gallons at 1.026 and I want to drop it to 1.023 how many gallons of saltwater do i replace with freshwater? |
I get about 11:
.026(100 - x) = .023 * 100 2.6 - .026x = 2.3 .026x = 0.3 I might try half that and see how it goes. I am assuming it's 100g of actual water volume in the system. |

You're welcome. Please let me know how accurate my math was.
