Mike - any benefit of the higher K for non-ZEO tanks?
Also, are you over on the ZEO forums much? I know they've looked at the Tunze salt as well, and curious as to what ZEO owners like/dislike about it.
Steve - here's the thread where several people posted their numbers from the free bag of Tunze salt

I'm on the ZEO forums a bit (I'm "mojo" over there), and folks in general respond favorably to the current generation of RBS. There is a recent thread about the alkalinity being elevated in a batch of RBS, but there's also contradictory data stating that it's around 7 at 1.026. The Tunze and DD are so new that there's not a lot of discussion as of yet.
Steve, I've been using RBS on the office tank for about 4 months, and on my home tank for about 1 month.

Dang you guys post fast - I barely get time to finish one post and there are already more questions to answer 
.
I use the KZ Potassium test kit, available wherever ZEO products are sold. I haven't tested the office tank water myself so I can't answer that, and I'm currently blending in RBS with the last of my TMP salt, so I can't give you any OOTB (out of the bag) numbers, but I will once I make up a fresh batch. From what I know of the salt, it's supposed to be approximately Ca 420, alk 7, Mg 1310, K 380.

You are lucky you didn't use it a year ago when the 2nd Generation first arrive in U.S. I first use the Reefer salt which is great but too much testing and measuring due to the salt come in 3 parts (base salt, Mg, Ca and K+) so they come out with the second generation which is 2 part (Base salt and Ca).
I ordered 8 buckets which cost approx $120 each shipped. The first 50g was nothing but nightmare. I had 9.8 pH, 12.5 dkh. If you did a search for Spur2 in Zeovit, you should be able to find all the thread i was talking about the salt.
Well i made 50g out of each bucket to test making sure they are not the same or i just get 1 bad bucket. Guess what? All 8 bucket sitting inside the dumster the very next day and i went back to TMP.

Too many versions of the RB to try it again. I'm using TMPR now but I have tried the HW marine pro reefer and it has been the nicest salt I have used to date but it is not all that available. Wish I could find a dealer,F&S has the HW marine mix but say they will not be carrying the pro reefer anytime soon.
Maybe Tunze??? Po4 readings??
