Default Ocean Pure Salt test

So I've been testing Ocean Pure salt to see haw it stands up. I first started by measureing my usually Kent salt and got these results

Kent (Aug 22)
SG or Salinity:35 or 1.026
Temp 79 -80
PH 8.38
Nitrate NO3: 0.0
Phosphate PO4: 0.00
Calcium CA: 340
Alkalinity ALK: 8dkh or 2.86 meq/l
Magnesium MG: 1290

I then proceeded to increase the amount of Ocean pure each water change by 25% until today were I am now at 100% and here are my results from Ocean Pure

Manufacture: Ocean Pure
Batch number:C-05 12021
Date: 09/17/06

SG or Salinity:35 or 1,026
Temp:79
PH:8.2
Nitrate NO3: 10 mg/l
Phosphate PO4:0.024
Calcium CA: 380
Alkalinity ALK:6.7 dKH or 2.40 Meq/ll
Magnesium MG: 1170

Complete test can be found HERE

I would love if more salts and even more mixes of the same salt can be posted
Thanks
Jason
