Opened a new bag of IO today. Its late and I didn't feel like waiting any longer to add more salt so I left the salinity at 1.021.

Salinity: 1.021 - Coralife Deep Six Hydrometer
PH: 8.16 - PH Pinpoint Meter
KH: 10.9 dkH - Salifert
Calcium: 350 - Salifert

I got these test results:

KH 12.5
ALK 4.46
PH 8.14
