[Macateer]

Just purchased a new 22KG from Fresh&Marine and it was very cloudy.

Anyone experience this?

Hi bro, keep mixing but it is always cloudy. After 1 hour of mixing just proceed with the water change. Display tank looks like a sand storm but after 2 days cleared up but can see alot of white deposit at the bottom of sump.

If you followed the instructions , it meant to be used immediately after dissloved . It turns cloudy if you left overnight . I always adjust to 1.025 and used it immediately

When just add the salt it will be cloudy but It will clear out usually 10-15 mins later for me.I am using a pump to mix my water in my barrel and mix ard 120l each time. I mix on the day that I want to use the salt. The water I already prestore earlier.

Latest Update for me:

Using a large ladle and stirring vigorously in the pail of fresh RODI water and add the salt in small amounts at a time did not work.

at SG 1.025 the pail of only 12 litres turned cloudy. Noticed that at point SG 1.014 it was still clear...Mmmmmm something is wrong with my salt?

Try using use a refrectometer to measure your sg. Cheers

Try to use a wave maker / strong pump to mix..

I use a tunze 6025 to mix my salt. Just aim at the bottom of the pail. Churns like crazy, salt mixed within ten mins. Even water crusted salt chunks were successfully dissolved

A strong pump aimed to the bottom sides will help mix well with almost no salt residue left. What you using to measure SG?

I am using this to test SG. Thanks everyone! I will try to use a powerful equipment to mix the next batch. BTW the cloudy water cleared up this morning in the tank.

I usually fill up a pail with water. Then pour in 2 cups of RSCP and use my glass cleaner stick to stir the water. The salt residue will go to the center bottom of the pail and you need to make sure that the salt are fully dissolved. I will stir for around 10 minutes and add it into my sump directly. The residue will dissolve in my sump if it is not stirred properly.

I am using this salt too. Yes, it will turn cloudy even after it has cleared out like half an hour. And later if continuing using pump for stirring, the water will turn cloudy. But it didn't deter me from using it. I thought I have read it somewhere that this salt does give such an issue but it is not harmful.

Did you add salt to water? Or water to salt?

Im using coral pro. But my water is not cloudy during the premix. The 1st few secs is cloudy of course but clears up within 2mins.

After i switch to a 4k pump to mix my salt everything is good now! Thanks everyone!
