Assumptions/generalizations are always risky and usually incorrect.
So there's a funny saying... Assume = making an ASS out of U and ME
Normally I'm very hesitant to blame salt or other types of additives as it's usually something the hobbyist did or something that happened to the tank. This situation is different though. Spit.fire is an experienced hobbyist and able to discern if it was the salt, the water, the mixing pump or something he did. When combined with my own personal experiences with this salt, my knowledge of how much freight is for salt and the price it is sold for. I think it's a 90%+ chance it's the salt, but no one can know for sure.
If the salt mix had ammonia contamination it could easily do to a tank what was reported.

I use either D+D or Red Sea as they are made from evaporated ocean water.
