Interesting. I have a couple of more mixes left so I will post each time. All of the salt I have is the same batch. Batch number located on the bottom of the bag.

What test kits are you using and have you tried testing the water prior to adding it to your tank?
Those parameters would help out for anyone else who felt like testing their salt.

All of the readings I have posted are in the bucket 24-48 hours after initial mix. These are not in tank readings.
All Tests are Salifert except for PO4 that is D&D MERC Phosphate test. J
