O.K. Brad,
I just finshed testing a sample gallon, using salt from my bucket of I/O that I purchased last Xmas. I already did my waterchange last week so I was curious to see the results
The results are as follows:

SG=1.023

Temp=77F

PH=8.43

KH=14.4

Cal=325ppm

I tested each reading twice, just for peace of mind
Now, in this thread you said that your value was sitting alittle high at 14dKH as is mine, wouldn't you say it's alot high if natural sea water is at around 8dKH? My value seems to drop to about 7-9dKH after a few days.
My dKH right now in the reef is reading an all time low of 2.6dKH, and the weird thing is, I just did my 20% waterchange last week and dripped my top off with Kalk a few days ago

cheers, Rich
