Hi guys, stupid question...

For my AWC I have a 20L container.

If I put 20l of rodinand then add 830gr of salt (Aqua forest reef salt, 41.5g/l for 35ppt) now the volume is higher (not sure if is 830ml higher).


Any way to calculate how much rodi and salt mix to reach exactly 20l? (+/- 100ml)

The volume change is small and typically too small to worry about. It is smaller than adding volumes together.

1.000 L of seawater at 35 ppt contains about 988 ml of water.
