Have anybody got replacement buckets from KENT? Any updates? I sent an email a week ago and i haven't received a reply so I'm wondering if something else is going on......

I got a call from John at Kent Marine, they confirmed I had a bad batch, he is sending me an email on my options. Apparently I might even be able to get some lighting products? who knows. Anyways.. he told me the old salt is still good, just needs to be buffered.

He told me my Alk was 0.913 and my Cal was 600 something.

You can buffer alk up, but how do you get calcium down to 400 from 600?

Hmm, well if your doing change water, it shouldn't be an issue, your replacing some calcium is all.

Perhaps what happened was they added extra calcium instead of the alkalinity. I have not had a reply yet from them, but that is good to find out that the salt is at least usable. I'll have to wait for a reply to see if they are offering to supply the needed buffer.

Finally got around to testing my bucket today. 2.3 dKH @ 1.022.
Dang! Well I'm gonna use it anyway. Can't be bother with goin' through the return process. I'm gonna mix 2 cups of the Kent with 8 to 9 cups of Instant Ocean until the Kent is all gone. My tank is low on Ca right now so the high Ca is a good thing. I'm interested in checking out SeaChem salt also.
