Default Mixing H2Ocean

Just getting back into reefing after an 18 month hiatus and a move to the coast. I always used this salt and thought i mixed it to the proportions the instructions said..1 lb per US gallon. Did the conversion and 1 us gallon is 11 litres. Mixed it with my RO water and it reads 1.030 on my vertex refractometer. I know you always need to check it before you actually do your water change, but this seems completely out of whack. Anyone else actually follow the instructions with any success or do you each just start low and gradually add until you find your ideal mix for the size of batches you mix?
