Today was the day for a large water change and I decided to test everything as I was mixing up the salt for the change. The parameters were way off. The only thing I can attribute these following results to would be old age of the salt. Though it was in a factory sealed bag.
20 gallon batch of Instant Ocean @ .26 after 24 hour mixing
Using salifert test kits properly the salt mixed to.
It took Aproximately this many MLs to bump up the parameters per 5 gallons of saltwater
17 ML Brightwell Part A ---->420 Calcium
7 ML Brightwell Part B -----> 9 DKH
20 ML Brightwell Magnesium ---> 1290 Magnesium
Any thought on why this salt parameters are so terrible? Could it be old age? Even though it was factory sealed?
