Default Cichlid Salt concentration

I have a 72 gallon Bow Front and a 75 gallon standard tank. Both have the
crushed coral for substrate, I have also pitched in a couple of limestone
rocks ( Texas Holey rock). My ph runs in the high 7's to the very low 8's.
My only problem is getting rid of all the babies that my fish keep
producing.

Setting up a cichlid tank and added seachem cichlid lake salt.

I understand about adding more salt only as result of water changes. My
question is how do I verify whether I end up with too little or too much,
short of taking the sample to a store for them to stick it with a meter or
if I purchase a $70 meter (would rather not).

Is checking hardness GH enough? If out of range do i add more seachem?

Any help or links to info is appreciated.

Thanks,
Russ
