New Tank - Alk Levels

[Marmot74]

It's a new tank and the PLAN is to do 2 part dosing. The tank is currently just cycling.

Then I wouldn't do anything other than water changes right now.
That salt should have mg levels of around 1450 out of the bucket. I'm not sure why it's so low now. Check your next batch of salt water when you mix it up.
I'm not a fan of short term fixes.

6DKH wont harm anything but i would bring it up to 7.5 with some baking soda. Just use a reef chemistry calculator.

I use kent's mag / epson salt / and a bulk mag with a mix of mag cholide and mag sulfate.

Thanks guys.

Honestly I was really surprised at the low levels of this bucket of salt. Possible I got a bad bucket on my first?
