I just went through my first 2 buckets of SeaChem out of curiosity. At a salinity of 1.025 I measured the Calcium to be 600ppm, Alk 10dkh, and Mg 1275. I used both Salifert test kits and Elos test kits and sort of averaged these amounts.

The Salt does take a long time to mix but I always like to have a 20 gal garbage can of ready to use saltwater so I always have a full week to let the new saltwater mix before I even use it.

While I've been using it I havent had to adjust the Calcium in my tank because the salt mix always shoots it right back up each time I do a water change. I've also experienced my sebae anemone spawning 4 times in the few months that I have been using this salt... although I dont think it was the salt to blame. Also, nothing has died while using it.
