dragoncube Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have used Red Sea previously, their packaging was white. You need to wait for a day or two before it totally dissolves. Looks like it is still the same now. But as far as I know, Red Sea has been around for a very very long time. I guess it must have its market share for being able to survive for so long.

SRC Member Firestarter Posted April 18, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 18, 2014 I believe the reason for the murky water is either: 1. you did not aerate the salt mix 2. the tank was not totally clean before you mixed the salt (residue from decom setup?) 3. the salt is contaminated I am using Red Sea salt and so far it is fast to dissolve and the only time I experience any chalkiness is when the salt has not fully dissolved.

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted April 19, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 19, 2014 i would say if you did the correct and proper way of salt mixing, and this happens out of a sudden, either this salt went bad or it was a bad batch. i have thus far went through 3 22kg tubs of RSCP, only 1 tub gave me slight cloudy issue which is not really an issue btw. the other 2 were perfect and mixed really fast and well.

王曼綺 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Guys, where can i get RSCP? clementi 328 is out of stock. - Ok ignore this. Found a post that listed down places that sell. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod Ward Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Guys , I also use rscps, and i am finding that if i let sit for more than 4 hours i get a fallout and very chalky water. ive been using it anyways, but im not satisfied. i end up flushing the left over residue, which must be all the good stuff from the water..... Not sure why it would be best usedd within 4hrs of mixing, but now i will go back to that method.

SRC Member dryDiver Posted April 29, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Rscp is unforgiving ehhh. U gotta follow the instructions specifically otherwise newly mixed water would be chalky. Good question is whether the chalky water usable? -----any experience for reefers? Whether as top up or for a whole new tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member braincoral Posted April 29, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 use strong powerhead to for good circulation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod Ward Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I use an eheim 1000 for mixing, so it looks great after 15 minutes, but then at some point after that there is fall-out. I'll have to re-read the instructions and see if it happens again. Thanks, guys.

jythong Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I find that Red Sea salt, when freshly opened, tend to dissolve more easily compared to that which was left opened and partially used. I find that the substance of the salt has changed a bit when left exposed, as if it absorbed water from the humid atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Firestarter Posted April 29, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Any updates from threadstarter? I'm putting my bet on uncleaned tank from previous setup causing the salt to become like that.

Moderators thomas_lim Posted April 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just sharing my own experience. I have been using RSCP for more than 1 year with supplies from various places like Irwana, C328 and AM and occasionally H2Ocean depending on prices i can get. Only 1 pail has this cloudy issue but i have no issue with dead life stock continuing using it till the sale depleted. I have 3 tanks. 2 Mixed reef predominantly SPS and 1 fowlr. Maybe TS can try to clean the holding tank again once more and see if the same happen. Alternatively, I can pass you some of my RSCP and you mixed it in your holding tank. If the result is cloudy in your holding tank. It can mean your holding tank might have issue, etc. P.S. I don't earn commission from any sales of RS salt. I believe it is good if we can help determine the fact if it is a batch issue or holding tank issue instead. Quote Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
