I used roughly a bit over 200 gals of this Salt mix total on my 65G SPS Reef.
Mag tested low (1000 mg to be exact). Tested with two different Elos kits, one newly purchased from BRS just to verify low readings.
Brother in Laws 180 SPS also tested low mag using this Salt.
Same test kits test Reef Crystals at proper Mag levels, and is the salt I switched back to.(Both kits Identical).
ESV Salt was weighed out with a quality digital Scale. Not sure why some report low Mag levels and, and some do not.
Other people have reported the same exact Low MAg readings as I got, 1000 MG.

Boycott test kits!

Well if that's true, we may as well forget about the Sticky on Salt Mix data gathered by member Billybeau1, as pretty much EVERYONE refers to it, and guess what? He used Hobby Grade Kits, Elos being one, and most reported to there accuracy back then.. So what Changed?
And why does the same kits show Reef Crystals where it should be, But the ESV Low? I guess the ESV is the only correct mix, and everything on that list is then in serious error, and our Mag levels must be Sky High?
We better all switch to the ESV then!
