I think we should have a new word that the reef community can call their own.. "doublelidding" The practice used to MAKE SURE your salt won't go hard. This replaces the seldom used "baggonit" process in which a garbage bag was put in the bucket...

I've had my bucket open about a year. I just use a different measuring cup and always close the lid up tight when I'm done. Salt is still loose.

OK then, I guess all those horror stories I've read are from user error

Thanks all, I feel better

I buy all my salt on boxing week so, I just stack them up to keep the lid closed tight. The top one has gotten solid before but, I just roll it a round on the floor to break up the salt. The pieces that are left I break up by hand.
