I've found RBS supersaturates very easily compared to most salts and gets white/brown residue frequently. Just a warning. Make sure the water's heated to temperature first and add your salt slowly. It has unballanced calcium and alkalinity because supposedly it's for people with calcium reactors. Mixing it too fast will cause it's 13dkh to precipitate down to 7 or 8 and leave tons of powder in the water.
Using it at home I add calcium chloride to the water as I'm mixing it to prevent this, and then I end up with 400-420 calcium.
