After all the reading and info gleaned from others, I came to realize that I had not realized the simple concept of what role salt can play in a tank.
Did not realize that different brands had different parms, some made water cloudy etc etc. how it affected my dosing regiment and the fact I have never tested a fresh batch of salt for Ca, mag or alk. I just threw it in the 55 gal tank with water, check temp and salinity and was done. Boy, do I feel stupid , missing something so basic.
The salt polling thread made me aware of my ignorance.
