Thinking of switching salt. Suggestions?

I have been using Brightwell Aquatics Neo Marine.  I think Im gonna switch because my PH is only around 8, can't get it to 8.4 and my calcium is always little low, around high 3's.  Think this a good enough reason?  I have a calcium reactor but im thinking I should get a salt closer to those desired numbers.  Thoughts?

Hopefully you mean calcium is high 300's LOL.

 

If you add algae like macros you pH will rise as the macros consume carbon dioxide.  And always measure pH just before light out.

 

With a calcium reactor you also might dial back the co2.

 

I think if you maintain calcium/alk/magnesium you'll find any of the comercial salt brands are fine.
