Well thats how much you need to add I think most salts are about 1/2 cup per gallon but that is just a starting point.

is it pro reef or standard?
what water is it being mixed with?

[Zaphod]

it is pro and mixing it with R/O watter

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

about 5/8 of a cup per gallon(varies a little each bucket-IME)

I use pro reef and 1/2 cup per gallon gets me there every water change.

I agree. I do 2 1/2 cups per 5 gallon bucket every time.

I use the same stuff and I always need to add a few cups extra (on a 32 gallon batch) if I do 2.5 cups per gallon.

I use an old salt bucket which holds aprox. seven gallons of water and it uses three cups of salt to mix to 1.024sg..............

1.024 is a little low though....you don't get there stated levels until 1.0264
