IO Salt Question

I guess I should have been more descriptive. I do have a power head and heater going. Usually with the H2Ocean eveything would dissolve within 20 or 30 minutes but in this case the water is staying cloudy even after a few hours of mixing. It was clear after adding Ca ads Mg which dissolved cleanly. It's the IO that is clouding the water ( or something precipitating after adding the IO. I may just let it mix overnight and see how it looks in the morning.

Hi Ron

I also keep a power head with a sponge filter attached to it in my mix tank.

I think it a Hagen power head attachment.

i don't want to hijack. But do you people find that the IO kind of mixes up a little "dirty" looking. I find that there is a bit of a tan color to the foam and my skimmer foam seems to turn the same color for a few hours after a WC. And no it's not my water. I've tried other water sources and have had the same thing.

could it be from your sand bed when you WC?
