Thanks for the input... it seems even with a higher temp, etc, the salt just will not dissolve. I'll leave it mix for 8 hours or so, (a 2g bucket) and I will still see grainy salt in the water. I don't want to add it to the tank like that for fear of something bad happening (I don't know what.. haha)
Not a huge deal, I'll just buy another bucket of salt, but if it happens again I'll be PO'd . It's really weird... the salt has just gone all funky. I haven't changed anything, it's in the same spot (my closet) with the lid on tightly, yada yada yada... hmmm...
Anyways, thanks for the input guys.. maybe I'll try another batch tonight and see what happens.
