Because I'm a clutz...

So I had a little problem....

When I mix my salt water, I put the dechlorinater in a gallon jug, fill it halfway with tap water, give it a shake. Then I add half a cup of Instant Ocean, give it a really good shake. Then I fill the rest of the way with tap water and shake some more.

Except today after the really good shake and before the rest of the water went in, I dropped the jug and some spilled. Might have been two or three cups worth. Is it okay to use if I just add a little less water? Or is the mixture critical and I should just start over?

Do you have a hydrometer to check the salinity? If it's a little low or high it shouldn't cause too much problem.

The one I have is similar to this one.

Thanks for the quick response.... No, I don't have one. I won't be able to get one before I leave town today, either. I'm fortunately already done changing dishes, I suppose I can just hope they don't need a saltwater change before Monday...

It'll be low in salt, and it'll be fine. It doesn't have to be the same every time.
