High enough for me. I posted my findings with two different buckets in the past 60 days. I remember in the latest batch, Calcium was 450 and Mg was 1380. pH was 8.2, alk was 9.7 or 10 dKH. I'd have to find my post to get those numbers for you.
I'm surprised to see Pro Reef alk that high? My batch tested at 5 dKH That is the only reason the TM rep told me to use the Pro. He said the only significant difference from that and regular TM is the low alk which combats the rising of alk when using a calcium reactor only as a source of calcium maintenance. The slightly elevated calc. and mag. are not going to raise those values in the aquarium.

It will be interesting to see what AWT comes up with for alk.
