Natural seawater is about 400 ca & 7 dkh. Having higher levels is a personal preference only. I like to have ca a bit higher just so I have a little wiggle room but it isn't necessary.

I'm now mixing up a batch of Reefer's Best salt and this is this first time I'll be using it. Unfortunately the box does not come with instructions. When using Red Sea Coral Pro I used 1 kg of salt to 30 litres of water. Should I be using the same ratio of salt to water?

D.A. I find dkh levels can be maintained if tank water mg is at 1350 or higher.
