Not sure if this is the issue, but there's a problem with a bunch of different batches of Salifert ALK tests giving artificially high results. There's a thread in the Salifert forum on RC that lists the affected lots.

I use OPP and find that my ALK levels are too low, around 7 dkh, at least with this bucket. Mg is very high though which might affect the reading for the other levels. I usually dose ALK anyway so I've never worried about it.

It seems that no salt is perfect right? You will always have to dose for something. So far with the OPP the mag and cal is higher than IO and it seems to mix better. If all I gotta do is dose for Alk that's not so bad. That's just my opinion so far. But I haven't been through that many buckets of salt yet.
