WTF IS WITH REEF CRYSTALS SALT!!

[Zoaelite]

Whoa... So sorry for your loss James I can only imagine how painful that must be. Do you still have the bucket, from the RC thread he noticed a change in the bucket plastic, perhaps this caused the problem? Either way I would be contacting Reef Crystals, I hope they give you some credit here.

I took a closer look at all my empty buckets of Instant Ocean salt which I reuse to do the water changes and out of 8 of them, all older ones are made of HDPE plastic (number 2 for recycling purposes). The last one, where the offending ReefCrystals were is made of PP (recycling number 5). The pail manufacturer is ROPAK (800)-387-3779. Interesting coincidence or we have found the problem?

BTW - the pail of Coralife salt is made of HDPE, number 2 same as all the older IO salt pails.

Can you guys check what plastic type are your pails of salt made of?
