here's some more numbers to add to your list.
mixed at 35ppt.
CA 400PPM
KH 10
MAG 2100PPM
PH 8.2
K+(Potassium) 380+mg/L
Temp 78.0F
all test where done with ether ELOS or API test kits, the mix was left to airate for 24hours.
after that eye opener, I went out and bought a bag of reef crystal salt. It was ether this or Instant ocean, my LFS told me reef crystal was better, I was also told that they stop carrying the ocean pure line of salt because in a report they had read this salt mix has a high amount of bad metals in it.
the high mag was not to much of an issue untill I started running ZEOVIT in my tank the water quallity became better, then i began loseing more color in the corals, which was on a steady decline before zeo. since adding the new salt mix (reefcrystal) to the tank friday i have noticed more PE and a slight return to normal colors (still early).
I'll test tonight and see what the tank parameters are at.

Ty1e, I suspect the magnesium reading is wrong. The highest I've tested in any salt mix is 1650 ppm. Otherwise, your numbers are close.
