Aquavitro salt is super dry so the NaCL, Calcium, Alk, and Magnesium disolve at different rates causing the participate.

SK you are right and wrong. Yes when you change water your salt level will come up but most salt companies dont have high levels of calcium in their mix. So even if you changed water every day all day your calcium level will never be above whats in the bucket. In the case of Aquavitro your calcium level will never be over 443mg/l or so the bucket says. If their calcium mix is off like some of the mag levels then yes it could go up. But you wont see something crazy like 700 or 1000.

Over all Aquavitro is a pretty high grade crap salt. It mixes poorly, levels are off, and its expensive. Seachem needs to review their entire line (Instant Ocean, SeaChem, Aquavitro) and figure something out. For the money you would be better off with Fuvals new salt or H2 Ocean.
