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.

And tmp is more like 7.5 not 8.5

Yeah I don't think the image shared is accurate. My TMP mixed is roughly 7.5 alk, definitely not 8.5! BRS did a video on all the popular brands...I'll try and find it.

Even their website says it's approximately ~7: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/pro-reef-salt-tropic-marin.html

Yeah, I can confirm that TMP mixes alk to about 7.5 dkh- it's the salt I use.
