This made my day haha. Whenever I put in the salt, I never do it by measure...I just put it in, and I always think I have enough...And the sg reads 1.005 and I'm like :WTF: I JUST ADDED LIKE A BUCKET OF SALT.
But yeah. Get some sleep.
I need some help! Good question for Mathematicians n salt lover

If you really want to be exact on the salinity/concentration of salt
use
M1V1 = M2V2
M = concentration
V = volume
use
M1V1 = M2V2
M = concentration
V = volume
Salinity readings are also effected by temperature however...so I dont think that the above will take that into consideration.
really don't need a refractometer. For most fish keepers a hydrometer is plenty accurate.
M1V1 = M2V2 - very handy for chemistry class and even here in fixing off salinity. However you can't really start there because of several variables: dissolution rates, temperature etc. However, if you know your concentration and volume for the first mix up, it would be handy for caculating a fix, as all the variable would be set.
Someone has been in their chemistry book. Well done.

+1 as long as you get a good hydrometer...there are some out there that are absolute crap.
And yea...my reef/fish applications chemistry has always been good bro...I just...damn that other stuff.
