I try to mix at around 1.023 incase I get behind on top off I won't have high salinity. But it usually stays around 1.025

Weird that mixing low will end higher .
even with top off .
skimmer skimming wet .

I'm not aware of any Ca/Alk effects from this. It's basically coral nutrition.

I don't recall saying anything specific about this product, but some additives can impact alk.

Vitamin C dosing will boost alk, for example, if dosed as sodium ascorbate, and some forms of certain amino acids (disodium glutamate and disodium aspartate) will also boost alk.

In general at certain ph ranges compounds that take hydrogen molecules from the water and other compounds contribute to alkalinity. These type compounds do not contribute much in small doses.
