1/2 cup of Salt per Gallon, 66 devided by 1/2 = 33 Cups, If you are running a sump then you will need to calculate that up as well.It may take around 34-36 cups to reach a salinity of 1.025.

Just FYI, in the future when you have inhabitants in the tank, you dont want to add salt directly into the tank.
