Well then. It's possible they may have released a "bad" batch. I wonder if anyone else experiencing this with the same batch #.

 

[greenstreet.1]

Could be will look in a min and see what the other box I have is dated

I also mix my water in the 44 gal brute containers will re test after I clean container after this water change and make water for next week

Thanks for posting the pics. I wonder if I/we should start a new thread to see if anyone else with 01-16-14 lot also getting higher than normal PO4 readings.

 

[greenstreet.1]

No prob bro that's how we learn. That's a good idea on the new thread.

I dont know how you guys are mixing the salt but when I was using it I was getting calcium numbers over 500 using a digital scale and following their directions

I used the same method and also followed the directions. CAL, Alk, Mg, SG were all perfect.:approve:

This salt is to all over the place for me. I had to switch. I probably will never go back.

 

[greenstreet.1]

I use the same also but as you know already I mix to what my tank needs.

Why is 500 calcium bad? Ur corals use that up in no time.
