So today I tested a fresh batch of reef crystal salt, it's been mixing for 24hrs now.
Alk 7.82 Dkh (Hanna)
Calcium 415ppm (Hanna)
Mag 980

So I guess that's why I'm having a hard time getting my mag up to 1350

Woah. That's really, really low. Did you roll the bucket before you opened it? RC has lots of room to allow the salt to settle out, but it also has lots of room to roll it. If that isn't the problem, that's gotta be a bad batch/bucket, or a bunk test kit.
