You should test for magnesium to see what your level is. Different salt mixes have different levels of magnesium and depending on your water change schedule, it could be different from tank to tank.
Magnesium depletes slower than cal and alk so usually only an occasional bump is needed, again, depending on which salt mix and how often you do water changes. :)
