seachem reef salt

[dsmlrussell]

I was wondering if anyone else is using this salt. I just switched from Reef Crystals to this and when i make my saltwater it stays real cloudy and leaves a powdery residue on the sides of the bucket. Im just wondering if this is normal for this brand of salt. I have used Oceanic and RC, and never had this happen.

I've been using Seachem Salt for about a year and a half now and haven't had any problems at all. Always mixes clear and fast.

Do you think it could be by water? im using tap until i get a RO unit.

How are you mixing it? Are you using a PH to help mix it thourghly?

That powder residue is probably calcium or lime. I have well water and when I wasn't using an RO/DI I got a lot of that same build up.

I mix it in a 5gal bucked with a powerhead and a heater.
