All I do and it seem to work well is mix your water/salt to match tank salinity. Then test the water for Mg, Ca & DKH, add your additive to bump to required levels. I have found once I had my Mg up to 1400 ppm that the Ca & Alk balanced out and stayed.

Start with a small amount of additive and record how much it bumps then you have an idea of how much you need to bump it to where you want it. Does that make sence to you?
