Dude, go check the readings of "Natural Sea Water" and you will see
how far are you from this target. You can have higher kH than NSW,
but the rest of thing you should rather keep inline with NSW.
For example - Calcium should be arount 420mg/l, Magnesium around
1300mg/l, always about 3x concentration of calcium...
So your readings are good only if your units are mg/US gallon :-))
