Re: kh through the roof
Its always a good idea to at least test everything when you first open a new bucket.
That way you pretty much know what you got.

Re: kh through the roof
Mix up a few gals with the new salt and test it. The problem with ReefCrystals was a year or so ago (maybe even longer), some of the batches had low calcium. Some batches were lower in ca than Instant Ocean.

Re: kh through the roof
i mixed up a new batch of reef crystals using r/o and did a 10 gallon water change my dkh has come down to 15 and magnesium droped to 1100 from 1300 my alkalinity went from 7 to five and calcium droped to 420 from 450 so it looks like its more water changes -i have always used reef crystals and had no problems
