SG- 1.026

ALK- 13 DKH
Mag- 1150

all tests were done with Salifert and I always heard that this was pretty good salt but now I'm not sure.
Hmm... going from memory, I'm getting pretty much those numbers too. Salifert for alk and Mg, and Seachem for Ca.

I hadn't seen any complaints from others. I thought my test kits might have gone bad, or that I was going crazy. I'd remembered better Mg and Ca than that from RC.

Bar codes etc on the side of my bucket read:

1 00 51378 01706 7

and

51378 01706
RC1-160P 03/05
P/N 4808

Does any of that info relate to batch code?

I bought several buckets earlier this year through DFS. I just got a couple new buckets too. I guess I should open one and test.
