![]() So, I got an used and half full bucket of IO salt and it didn't come with the cup. Can anyone please tell me how much grams/ounce one cup holds ?
I will need to start a 65g, so have to mix the water tonight. Thanks in advance, Raj |

![]() Instant ocean buckets of salt do not come with a cup. To my knowledge no salt brand comes with a cup. Just use a measuring cup from your kitchen.

![]() The number of grams varies in a cup due to particle size, for salt its around 292g per cup. 1 Cup also equals 8 ounces, I'm kind of confused what your asking though.

![]() What I am asking is that if I just have a bucket of salt, how much will I need to make a gallon of water of standard SG. IO says 1/2 cup, but that is irrelevant to me as I don't know how big of a cup to use. Hence I am asking for the metric amount that a cup holds. If I know the gms or ounce, then I can measure it out.

I will go ahead with a measuring cup and measure out 8oz for 2gallons of water. If the SG is fine, then I am good. Thanks everyone. |
