Well there's a few people that roll their buckets or mix them before use. I'm too lazy and think those that do are over thinking things. But when I got to the bottom of this bucket I thought "oh chit!! Is there something that the manufacturer forgot to mix in when filling up this pail?" But everything appears to be normal in the tank. Which now brings up the question on the latest poll. Nope still not going to check fresh made saltwater. And no I never sniffed it, if so i would have prefered the other kind of nose burn. But I tasted it and tastes like salt

Instant ocean is always throwing random stuff in their salt buckets usually weird fish food, I wish they would just through in some more calcium and magnesium.

I miss my old tank I would just do 160g water changes so I wouldn't have to roll my salt buckets

Just between you and me, even if you do a 1g change, you don't need to roll the bucket Silliest thing ever!

Yea I have alot of the t-shirts. The food goes straight in the garbage. But good point on the calcium and magnesium

I could never understand how rolling a bucket shifts stuff from bottom to top

Thinking it may be extra trace elements? Strontium, Magnesium, etc.?

Why would they put an extra isolated bag of salt in a bucket that already contains salt?
