I use Kent and it frequently goes cloudy and does not clear up after 24 hours mixing. I've sorta been concerned, but sorta not, and use it anyway. Having said that, my reef is far from perfect. Aiptasia, hair algae, cyano and a Colt; Open brain; Bubble that aren't happy. I just recently switched from IO to Kent. The problems existed before the switch, and persist, so I don't think it's the salt. Not the Kent anyway. Parameters are always good, although I might have an iodine issue. I'm not about to start spending $80/pail for salt. Maybe in the future, but not now. Sorry, not much help here. Just 2 cents for the record.

Edit: It gets cloudy in the mixing tote. Once I've put it in the reef, it clears up within minutes.

Cheers,
