Thank you! I am thinking this will be my next salt purchase once I work my way through my existing supply.

I heard a few batches were well below the 400Ca mark though.

RBS has a lower, more neutral Ca than other salts because its designed with the use of a Ca reactor in mind, eg. no sudden surge in Ca after a water change.

Since this product comes in a box, is the bag inside resealable?

There is just one large bag closed with a rubber band.

I moved the bag from the box to a plastic tub (from another brand) to protect it. Before putting it in the tub I rolled the bag around on the floor to make sure it was mixed well.

I reseal the bag with the rubber band it came with and put the lid on the tub to keep moisture out.

OK so I did my first RBS water change. These are the test results of the mixed water.
CA 410
ALK 9.2
Mg 1410
