I have some spread sheet updating to do so went ahead and decided to test another salt brand tonight.

Aquavitro Salinity for reefs. I find it interesting they have on the label tested results from the batch this came from. Still doesn't mean something can't happen and results from a bucket can't be off.

Plus, they give quite the range for this to be in. Which goes to show that one should not expect one bucket or bag to be the same as another bucket or bag for any brand of salt. Basically what this entire thread is about. What can one generally expect from a particular salt mix.

Here's what's printed on my bucket. Lets see how close it is with the 3rd party results.
