"Salinity" salt mixing problems!!

[craigwmiller]

To avoid cloudiness (and precipitation), I've had the best luck with:

- no heater before mixing
- constant circulation during mixing
- not adding entire amount of salt at once (I mix ~40 gallons at a time, and I do it in about 3-4 chunks of adding salt, spacing the addition of salt by several hours)
- if your make-up water is still cloudy after 24 hours of mixing, and your salinity is good (I mix to 35ppt), it might just be cloudy and is likely okay to use.
