From the instructions on the side of the bucket;

"1.5 lbs of Instant Ocean is formulated to create 5 gallons of saltwater at a specific gravity of 1.022"

Front of bucket also has;

"160 U.S. Gallons, 605 Liter Mix, Net Wt. 48 lbs., 21.7 Kg"

Looks like Craig pretty much confirmed the numbers in his post.

I usually use 12 cups of Instant Ocean to mix up a batch of about 23 gallons of water at 1.025. Sorry that doesn't help with the full bucket routine! I've never measured how many cups I get out of a bucket.
