Okay So I Just Change Over To Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. I Opened The Container To Pull Out The Mixing Instructions And There Was None. Does Anybody Else Use This Type Of Salt And If So Do You Know How Much Salt To Add To The Ro Water To Make The Sg 1.026?
I use that brand, I just add a little at a time, mix and check salinity, if I go over I add a little more water until I get it to my desired salinity level.

i dont use red sea, but generally 1/2 cup per gallon usually gets me around 1.023-1.024. so i'd try that then add a bit more to get to where you want to be.

If you have corals and things, make sure to check the Calcium levels when using Red Sea Salt. I was using Instant Ocean at first but changed to Red Sea Salt and my Calcium levels went way up around 550. I switched back to Instant Ocean and problem solved. Now back at 430. Just something to be aware of. It may not be the case for everyone.
