My lesson is learned though, I'm testing my NSW for the "big 3" everytime I open a new bag or bucket of salt. Sad that I've had to learn this lesson at least 3 times before it sunk in: First with the bad Alk batch of Kent, then Aquamedic salt, most recently KZ Reefer's Best. I don't care what the hype is about any brand of salt - I'm testing it everytime I open the bucket for the first time. Enough is enough, I don't trust any number printed on the side of a box or bucket or bag anymore, I want to see it for myself and adjust accordingly.

That sounds about perfect.
I have been using IO for years, and I consistently get 11, 350, and 1200, or there-abouts. At 1.026 or so.
I always get pretty close to that, but I always mix a min of 40 gallons, so any separating that may have happened in the pail likely wouldn't show up like it would for someone that only mixes 5 gallons.
