Old bucket of kent @ 38ppt:
10.9 dkh

New bucket of kent @ 39ppt:
3.6 dkh

Going to email J&L tommorow and buy a new bucket of Seachem.

I was thinking about this this morning wondering why I got 3.6dkh, higher then everyone else. Then I remembered that I used about 3 cups of salt from the old bucket out of 14 total, which would explain my higher reading.

Anyone get a response from Kent on what they plan to do about this bad batch of salt? Also what is Kent telling their retailers and, what do the retailers of the kent products plan on doing for their customers, if anything, who bought the bad salt?
