Default Salt Values

I'm interested in making a list of Salt chemistry values since we are getting close to the sale season at various retailers. I plan on buying enough salt for the year and I know the value range I'm interested in, but not sure if there is a better salt out there than the one I'm using now (I'm sure others would love this info)

So, what am I asking for? Well, here is the information I'm looking for:

I mixed up my salt like:

Salt: Seachem ReefSalt (Batch 12257)
Water: RO/DI, tested to 0ppm
Salinity: 35 PPT (calibrated with same temperature solution immediately before)
Temp: 19 Degrees C

Testing Results:

Alkalinity: 8.8 dKH (Red Sea Lot 362)
Calcium: ~510 ppm (Red Sea Lot 372)
Magnesium: 1460 ppm (Red Sea Lot 582)


Please share your salt information! (as detailed as possible, like above)

Thanks!
Craig
