Holy Crap!
Thanks for the heads up!

I have 10-15 gallons of Seachem mixed up if you need it or are you picking up skeletons at this point?

I'm sorry for your loss!

I have a bucket of that batch I bought from petsmart. I havent started my reef tank yet but started my qt 2 weeks ago, it is still cloudy.
Is there a way to test the salt before setting up my DT tank with it just in case? Even if there is the slight chance it is a bad batch I don't want to start out with a catastrophe.

If it's still cloudy 2 weeks after... then you definitly have an issue. Bad salt or poor filtration, whatever is causing it, you need to do something about it for sure.

I would dump that pail and buy a new one.
