Why not to use io salt

[Skimmer Juice]

agree with crimper should be easy enough to make some water test it and see what was actually wrong with the salt ! It could help somebody out who bought that salt from the sale. I have a couple buckets from the sale and have already done water changes in both my tanks . Thread tittle's like this could scare people away from using a great product . It would be nice to see what in the salt caused it if possible

Touché to what Myka and crimper said.... I was thinking yesterday of posting the exact same thing as crimper. If I lived closer I would come grab some salt from that bucket before you throw it away. I trust your experience also spitfire but think it would really be beneficial for you to give a sample of that to someone to test if you don't feel like it yourself. Or send it in to IO like Myka suggested, I'll even offer to pay the postage if you're over it
Really sorry to see this happen to your tank
Pretty sure that's the most popular brand of salt and type of salt used, so it could have an impact on a lot of people who switch brands of salt too quickly now because they're scared of suffering the same fate as you.

So please help the community find a reason, if it takes me driving out there to grab a sample then so be it, if you're sure it was the salt.

Plus if you toss it and it turns out to not be the salt you haven't solved the Scooby mystery.

I will be in Aldergrove this Friday and can pick up a sample of the salt for testing if Vancity wants to meet after the weekend. I've been using IO salt and I know & respect spitfire's years of reefing experience. If we can have the salt tested by the company and have a definitive answer as to what parameter is off, that would ease my mind and the minds of a lot of other reefers. Just putting this offer out there. I can meet you at Oceanic if you want.

Thanks,

Anthony

Just send me a text if you figure it out Anthony, If Tyler hasn't thrown it out yet

I have a new unopened bucket of IO from King ED, if you want a little for comparison testing.
I have used IO since I started reefing 3 years ago and have never had any issues so far so good.
