I came across this neat little Alkalinity calculator a while back while I was struggling with my last 3 buckets of Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt that had extremely low Alkalinity and Ph in newly mix batches of water. This little calculator helped me manually adjust my alk and Ph in my reef by giving me an accurate way to measure how much baking soda to add to my mixed water to keep the ALK and Ph where my corals needed it. I hope it serves beneficial to anyone who needs it. reef.diesyst.com/cf/alkalinitycf.htmlThis site also has some other helpful calculators to help when checking and adjusting other reef tank parameters. reef.diesyst.com/flashcalc/flashcalc.html

I saw a a major difference in Alk when I switched from TM pro reef to Instant Ocean salt. My Alk with TMPR was as low as 4.5 dkh with newly mixed buckets. IO salt has been pretty steady around 10-11 dkh. Ive toyed with the idea of going back to regular tropic Marin salt but I have a hard time justifying the $70+ price tag compared to the $39.99 price tag that I can get on a 200 gallon mix IO salt.
