Forgot to add I used this salt previously and it mixed to almost the number listed numerous times. I only stopped using it, as I wanted to run a little higher alk and nutrients to change things up a bit lol.

That is awesome to hear! What salt did you change to? Also did you premix the dry salt before adding to water? And thank you!

I swapped back to Instant Ocean, just the regular. My alk consumption, calcium consumption, the fact I have 9 active tanks right now and had to dose anyways make it cost effective. The alk and calcium cost with the cost of salt is a lot less with IO. As for pre-mixing, I do rotate the bucket a few times and always have. Not sure why, but has been a habit since I started.

For alk, you may want to do measurements for a week, everyday at the same time and figure your consumption per day. It may be time to start dosing or one of the other methods of maintaining alk.
 
Yeah, I can confirm that TMP mixes alk to about 7.5 dkh- it's the salt I use.
