When researching salt brands, I found posted parameter tests very helpful. I know there's a sticky with some info but it was a while ago and I wanted to share what my results were.

IO Salt 50g bag
Mixed to 35ppt, 78 degrees

Calcium: 415ppm
Alkalinity: 11.35
Magnesium: 1380

All tested with Salifert about 6hrs after mixing. Maybe this will help someone out!

Thanks for the info. :)

I knew (or know, depending on whether they changed it recently) the target levels for those things in IO and those are not far of of what they try to produce. :)
