Brand: Tropic Marin Sea Salt (NOT Pro)
Temp: 77.8 (Lab Grade Thermometer)
Salinity: 35 ppt 1.026 (Calibrated Refractometer)

Alk: 9.5 dkh Salifert
Ca: 430 ppm Salifert
Mg:1240 ppm Salifert

Salifert results are average of 3 consecutive tests. Fairly consistent results with the last 3 buckets of Tropic Marin Sea Salt. Mg is less than I like but I bump up MG to 1300-1325 prior adding it to tank.
