The higher the gravity, the more salt the fish will need to process. The average weight of fish will be approximately 42 kg per pound. You can measure the specific gravity using a refractometer. These devices can be purchased through an online retailer or from some pet stores. As a result, you need to figure out which laws and regulations dictate the exact gravity of the water in which you'd like to place your fish. [substeps] If you have saltwater in your aquarium, you're dealing with a bottom reef. A higher specific gravity means that seawater is more likely to contain more salt. Let's understand the ratio: the low salt water scum form the water of your local water tank, while the high salt water scum forms the water of the ocean.
