Chemistry question for the OT
Posted on 12/7/15 at 8:08 pm

Let's say I have a reef tank with 315 gallons of water. Let's also say that the company who (used) to manage it for me fricked up the salinity.
How much freshwater do I need to add to reduce the specific gravity of 315 gallons of saltwater from 1.030 to 1.025?

Trick question, if you add any fresh water it will no longer be 315 gallons.

Do your own homework.

While not "classically trained" in the art of chemistry, I'll say that I've never had a problem that couldn't be solved with sulphuric acid or lime. Google them and see if they can help.

Make sure to give your fish a nice eulogy before flushing

what is the S.G. of the salt water now?

What is the age of aquarium, Alex?

Seems like more of a math question than chemistry.. But I'd guess that 1.24 gal of distilled should do the trick

Gotta specify the temperature, brah. 25 C?
Posted on 12/7/15 at 8:18 pm to TigerFanatic99
Just with a ratio...
315/1.025 = X/1.030
316.53
so add 1.53 gal?
Note you are using two different units...
g/cm3 vs gal
315/1.025 = X/1.030
316.53

What is the specific gravity of the h2o being added?
Hint, it isnt 1.000

Nice try. I'm not going to help you make meth

Yes.

You have a refractometer?

63 gal brah. 315 gal * 1.03 + x = 1.025 * (315 gal + x)
Solve for x.
Solve for x.

Well...
What was the result?!
