Enter the total volume of the aquarium (gallons) into the Aquarium Salt Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Aquarium Salt. 

Aquarium Salt Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Aquarium Salt.

AS = V / 3

Variables:

  • AS is the Aquarium Salt (tbsp of salt)
  • V is the total volume of the aquarium (gallons) 

To calculate the aquarium salt in table spoons, divide the volume of the aquarium in gallons by 3.

How to Calculate Aquarium Salt?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Aquarium Salt.


  1. First, determine the total volume of the aquarium (gallons). 
  2. Next, gather the formula from above = AS = V / 3.
  3. Finally, calculate the Aquarium Salt.
  4. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total volume of the aquarium (gallons) = 20

AS = V / 3 = ?
