-   -   Why not to use io salt (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=114381)

I was actually thinking of switching to IO from ddh2ocean salt but this has made me rethink that decision.

Thanks rich, we've been doing water changes with kz and the water is clearing up already, hopefully a water change a day will fix things, we stuffed as much of the LPs as we could in my nano hoping to save some stuff

New bucket, not running dosers, had to many problems with them so I refuse to use them

Once I run out of kz I'm switching to salinity

I know of others that like Salinity but I personally have never had good luck with it.

I've been using IO now for over 20 yrs and never had a problem due to salt.
Any problems I've had could honestly be attributed to something I did, or didn't do correctly.

If you can prove it`s the salt, your house insurance would probably cover some or all of the livestock under the coverage for pets. My own house insurance covers up to $5000 which includes equipment and livestock. That wouldn`t cover it for me, but it sure would help!

It's never a problem until...it IS a problem. Kinda like the Kent Carbon recall from a few years back. I used Kent Carbon for a decade before that happened.

While issues with salt can and have happened, I've never seen an incident where only one person was affected. It's usually a batch, and many people suffer and report losses.

I've been using IO for years too without problem. Are you sure your bucket or scoop or something else wasn't somehow contaminated with something? Maybe the water you used was somehow contaminated?

I'm not trying to minimize your loss which sucks but if you are the only who's experienced this it's not likely due to something others are using without problem.

I rent, no insurance. I'm not worried about cost of the loss, just frustrated
