I just opened a batch of Reef Crystals and no problems. I agree that it has to be something to do with the water change. Either way, it's good to know that if my water ever mixes up cloudy, I should scrap that salt. Sorry for the loss.

same here mike, i doubt rolling the bucket or not would kill off a tankmaybe if you ran an sps dominant it would mess with your params a bit but to kill a lps tank in 8hrs not likely.

jason i would def get the salt tested somethings not right there, goodluck buddy

H2Ocean does recommend a thourough mixing of their salt prior to use, they use different grain sizes in their mix that tend to settle out during transport.
