Making brackish water for the cheap and lazy.
Thought I'd share my lazy method of brackish water. I've been using it on Diamondback Terrapins for a while now and have been making out just fine.
Basically I use one and a half cups of salt (12oz) per ten gallons of water.
This normally (if I check it with a hydrometer) gives me between 1.012 and 1.014SG. My current hydrometer is pretty cruddy however so I often don't bother.
As for the sal
