That is a perfectly fine value for dKH! Most people want to run between 7-11 dKH.

I'm sorry I don't have any direct feedback to offer you about that particular brand, as I've never used it. I do have to say it has pretty packaging!

The biggest problem I had with that salt is one bag will have a ALK reading of 10.6 and the next will have a reading of 2. never had a problem with Mag or CA but Alk was all over the place.

I also switched on the recommendation of the LFS. I bought Ocean Pure Pro. I started with IO so I've only done water changes with the Ocean Pure Pro. Did you buy Pro regular Ocean pure? And has anyone noticed inconsistent Alk readings with Pro?
