I use Instant Ocean salt that is premixed from my LFS. My understanding is that it should mix dHK 11, Cal 400, and Mag 1350.
I don't have very many corals yet in my 65g, but there are a few expensive ones. Mostly LPS with 2 inexpensive SPS. I completed a WC today and waited about 2 hours to test and my results are below. I tested before the WC and had almost the same results as there are not many corals using up the nutrients. Why would my Mg be so high (tested with Salifert and again with Aqua Forest) and my Ca (Aqua Forest) and Mag (Salifert) be low? I know they say don't chase numbers, so would these be fine?
I do have Hanna checkers for pH, dKH, Ca, and phosphorus, but I'm waiting on the reagents and calibration fluids.
Temp - 77.7
Sal - 1.025
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - .5
pH - 8
Ca - 350
Mg - 1650
dKH - 6.2
PO4 - .03
Thanks for the help.
