Thanks, but I just finished off an older kit that gave me real numbers, this new kit is going back to the store !
Using the same batch of salt, this kit is way off the level the last kit gave me.

Instant Ocean salt (not reef crystals) mixed at 1.026 s.g. generally tests out at 360-380 ppm CA.

Mixed up 100l yesterday, Ca 370ppm (Mg 1100).

Out of curiosity what results did you get for alkalinity?

didn't test this last mix, but from one time before recorded 10.9 dKH (believe would have been a different pail of IO though)

Hmm, anyone measure their Ca when salinity was 1.029? Maybe I'll do something smart this week to balance it out..
