Need help choosing new salt mix

[Yinger]

for those mixing 50/50, how long did you guys let the salt mix for? I just tested it about an hour after mixing and got 10.5 alk, 400 CA and 1040 mg @ 1.025. Will these numbers change and get closer to NSW if i wait 24 hours? I also have a bucket of TMpro which i shook up and got results of 6.2 alk and 320 CA.

Kent always had .03 sometimes .o4 , Deep oceans .05, older oceanic .01-.02 ( latest batches 0 )

Also I always had brown dusting on my panes after waterchanges with these salts .

I am using reef crystals for now and so far not a single dusting after a WC and I have been doing 45g WC's on my 180. I can actually go a week or almost 2 now without cleaning the panes usually I was doing it a day or 2 after a WC .

That's funny I got the red clay and ammonia spikes out of Reef Crystals that is why I stopped using.
