So how much do i add per gallon if they need a salinity of 1.004?

 

[dorkfish]

You use normal marine salt (like you will be using for your marine tank you created a thread about) and mix it to a lower salinity than you would for a normal marine tank. You measure the salinity with a hydrometer (wich you will also be using for your marine tank).

You cannot make and/or simulate brackish or marine water with just sodium. There is a host of chemicalls and/or minerals (link in marine and brackish water. Sodium is only one chemical/mineral - you need A LOT more than plain sodium if you want to make brackish or salt water wich is capable of suporting BW & SW fish and inverts.
