You're all jacking this thread. First warning. Still like me?? :razz:

Salt is gone, Albert was here when it happened, we did everything we could to diagnose the problem and came to the conclusion that it was the salt. We mixed the water earlier in the day with the same system I've been using for years. The system was mature and very stable. The inverts and corals started dieing within hours.

I still like you :)

Kids went home from the time salt was mixed till the next day

Why would you toss the salt without getting it tested?

why not toss the salt without getting it tested, sorry i do not have a mass-spectrometer nor intend on to pay for the testing that it would require to come to a definite conclusive result

I agree with Myka the salt should have been tested, now saying the tank was nuked by the IO salt is an opinion of you and Albert and all of us following your thread will now never have a conclusive answer as to the salt quality. Myka offered to bare the cost of testing it, so why wouldn't you do it, then at least we would have an answer.

+2

And +4 Brad :sad:

Oooh more numbers this thread needed.

1+2-1+3+2+4=11dkh??

I have some cheap coral and tank I can test the the salt out for you. If they all die too then for sure its the salt. As I am using instant salt myself too.

There is still no guarantee with you using his salt.
Too many variables to consider.

I agree with all other posts that state the salt needs to be tested under scrutiny/lab standards.
Only then can the problem be found.

I said before and will say it again.
I'm still going to use my IO for now.
