The ‘Quality Certificate’ supplied with the salt stated;
Salinity: 35PSU
Mg: 1440mg/l
Ca: 430mg/l
K: 410mg/l
KH: 8.1dKH
I wasn’t comfortable using the salt after seeing these results. It will be interesting to see if your results follow a similar pattern.

Calculating that out Salinity comes to around 32.63ppt. I'm still surprised at that amount of aluminum.
Intersting the probiotic QC was listed at 35ppt. The reef salt QC was list as 33ppt.
