I just got a new package of aquarium salt for my crabs labeled APC , it isnt shown in the mixing saltwater section does anyone know how much APC salt per gallon i should mix

Are there "hatching Brine Shrimp" mixing instrutions on the package? If so, that's usually a good bet. I personally wouldn't use an unknown brand of salt---some salts meant for freshwater aquarium use aren't adequate for hermies, or contain harmful ingredients. If it's a marine aquarium salt, it should have mixing instructions on the package.

API is 8 tablespoons of salt per gallon of water. Mix it really well, it doesn't dissolve very easily. It's the same as Doc Wellfish; they changed the name.
