I am more interested to know what test kit he used to measure the alk? Still waiting to hear back on his Ca reading and tank size.

You are very prepared but I think the OP should really be answering the question of what test equipment they are using. No offence.
I use all that to make sure I get good resolve [emoji4][emoji4]not playing around [emoji33][emoji33][emoji4][emoji4][emoji6]
lol and people make fun of ESV's saltwater system.Few things about IO. First, use the whole bag, or dry mix the stuff. Every salt settles some and this is no different. I use the whole bag, so this is not an issue for me.
Two, you need to doctor it up a bit, but it has always been dead-on-balls accurate (it is an industry term) and the doctoring is easy. Here is my formula... 44G Brute, whole bag of IO and 2 tbsp of dowflake in cold water. Mix overnight. Heater in the brute and add 20mls of Muratic Acid. Mix for a day or two until the PH is back up. Perfect SPS water for me with alk about 7.0-7.2 and calcium about 425.
I agree, knowing the OP's testing equipment will be helpful. I've used reef crystals and it didn't have that high of alk testing with a hannah. Also, the saturation in led reefs tank pic hurts my eyes....
I bought mine from tractor supply.@RedneckReefer68 What brand muriatic acid do you use? I grabbed some from Home Depot and overtime the alk slowly raised itself back up.
