Last night, tonight
Alkalinity 6.7, 7

Calcium 440, 445

Mg 1320-1350 (.11 and .115)

Sending out the vials to Triton tomorrow morning.

I found this rather impressive as their stated numbers at around 35ppt should be

http://www.tropic-marin.com/meersalz...salz/?lang=en#
Parameters: approx. 7° KH, calcium approx. 440 ppm, magnesium approx. 1350 ppm
I got a new package from unique corals today to ship in to Triton. So, redid the test with a new batch of Tropic Marine Pro-Reef since I gave the rest of the previous batch away already.

Alk: 7.3
Ca: ~460-470 (.07)
Mg: ~1410-1440 (.05)


Salinity was at the low end of the 35ppt line. I'll be curious what the calculated salinity will be at from the triton results. The RC I read at the high end of the 35ppt line and it came back as 34.99ppt from triton's results.

Dropping off the samples tomorrow to be mailed off.
