I've got two full unopened buckets with these numbers. I think I purchased them at Ocean Aquatics a few months ago. The sticker on the lid says 11332.

As I understand it the sticker on the lid is the batch number. That is what the LFS guy showed me today when I went in and asked. Unfortunately my Son colored mine in blue pen and I can't see it lol.

Just like to add a BIG thank you to Concept Aquatics for the good deal on salt. I will be doing a major water change asap.

Sorry,I made a mistake on the batch number. I just looked at some old buckets and mattjoly85 you are correct. Can we please verify where Instant Ocean places the batch numbers? The only sticker on the bucket is on the lid which reads 12128. Correct me if I am wrong but I assume that is the batch number?
Levi,
Yes,I still have the whole 160 bucket. I only mixed up 6 gallons from it.(my tank is only 25 gal)

Yeah my reef crystals mixes clear in 5 minutes. That definitely doesn't look right.

Still cloudy, but it is possible to see some particulates today. I suspect Daniella is correct, though I have no idea why it would happen.

It doesn't smell bad, so I'm guess it is a different issue from what Jmes had.

If it is calcium precipitation, you will find a lower than normal test result when you test the new water for calcium.
If the test is normal, then it's not calcium precipitation.
