No idea, there are too many variables than to say x amount equals y. That's why accurate measurements are needed.

Unfortunately, you were misled. The crab does need brackish, yes, but would have been fine for the short term it would have taken to cycle the tank and acclimate him to the brackish water. However, do not lower the salinity too fast either, or it can also cause osmotic shock. Lower it very slowly.

And just wondering but why do you have your betta in salt? It does not need it and does best in freshwater.
