I was not offered a refund on my 2 boxes. They shipped me some potassium additive (which I'd already purchased from them 3-day prior). So now I have a lifetime supply of potassium and some salt that's probably destined for the garbage.

@daelie - Did you get your new box of salt (the one that tested good on potassium) from BRS also? Did you talk to them about the problem? If not, it might be good to do so. Although they refunded my money w/o any problem, I couldn't get them to perform a test on the potassium level.
Both are potassium but with the only difference that the KCl has about the ½ of the potassium than
the same weight amount of K2SO4.
Exactly what happened in my tank! Lost PE on almost all sps and then stn. And I caught it decently early, so I only lost about 4 frags and two colonies still haven't recovered completely.Did you ever get a response back by chance? I too bought HW Marinemix from BRS this past black friday and realized last night mine is also suffering from low potassium (makeup water is 240 and also my 80 gal reef). I crossed referenced my kit by verifying another vendors salt returned right at 390. Some of my sps are starting to stn from the base which led me testing everything. I have 2 unopened boxes of this stuff still and am about half way through this box... A google search regarding HW Marinemix and low potassium yielded this thread.
They sent me 250 g of HCI for each of the 2 boxes of salt mix that I have - so I am going to give it a try.
