If I had to bet some cash on guessing what one thing could do that, I'd guess copper.
Is it possible to tamper with a bucket and add copper somehow?

If I had lost that much and I thought the salt was to blame, you can be SURE the manufacturer would be hearing from me.

And IO will examine a sample if sent to them, they require a couple cups in a zip lock for testing.

It just seems the whole thread just got a lot of people all excited without any kind of conclusive proof of the salt being the problem is all I'm trying say. I agree with you Brad at the end of the day we've learned nothing.

Agreed, we know nothing, other than Tyler lost a ****eload of stuff. Could be from salt, or something that was in the salt bucket.
Yes, IO is a cheaper salt, but they've been doing a lot of it for a long time with a pretty good track record, so I still maintain that if it's the salt, others will have the same issue eventually.
Not sure if the purchase location of the salt has been disclosed, but I bet other CR members also bought some from the same batch.

I think that question was asked but I don't remember seeing an answer.

Could be metal contamination, excess lvls of copper, that would wipe out inverts yet leave fish healthy.
