Hello. If any of you have tested different salts after making up batches of RO/DI and mixing in the salt, which high quality brands of salt did you find had the highest Calcium?

Thanks!
Pam

Oceanic has an inconsistently high (I've seen up to 600ppm in a fresh batch) amount of Ca, with a low Alk (so its not balanced). Mixing Oceanic and IO or using ReefCrystals is a good compromise.

I went from IO to RC because its supposed to have more calcium and trace elements, i have heard Tropic Marine has a balance of everything.
