I test pH, specific gravity, temperature, ammonia, nitrite, alkalinity, and calcium. It's a pain, but it's the only way I know that I'm not going to dump water in my tank that is "bad". The good folks at Instant Ocean probably mix up their salt in huge industrial sized vats with big paddle mixers, and it's possible that a big clump of a particular ingredient doesn't mix quite right once in a while. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
