I guess if I have the Salifert test kit I can use it to see if I have a reading of <900 in that tank. Tomorrow.

Even still though, if it was, it's surprising because it's only a 40g so I do bigger water changes (percentage wise) and I've been using RBS salt which I thought was supposed to be the foshizzlenizzle or something. Seems disappointing to spend a premium on salt and then add Mg like it's going out of style to compensate for a low reading. And just in case anyone asks, I did pour the bag of salt into a bucket and shook it up for 5 minutes before using just in case it's a "you're not mixing your salt enough" type thing...
