WTF IS WITH REEF CRYSTALS SALT!!

[Seriak]

I just opened a batch of Reef Crystals and no problems. I agree that it has to be something to do with the water change. Either way, it's good to know that if my water ever mixes up cloudy, I should scrap that salt. Sorry for the loss.

same here mike, i doubt rolling the bucket or not would kill off a tankmaybe if you ran an sps dominant it would mess with your params a bit but to kill a lps tank in 8hrs not likely.

jason i would def get the salt tested somethings not right there, goodluck buddy

How many stores are sending all this salt with this batch number back because all their customers are experiencing wipe outs?

is it not possible that its only a bucket or a very small amount of buckets that could have this??

why does the whole batch have to be tainted??

is it not possible the bucket could have been contaminated before salt was added??

or is it not possible there was an error in packaging??

Based on today's production methods, there isn't much chance of just one or a few buckets having a problem, either before filling or while or after.
There is no way to say absolutely that it can't happen, just highly unlikely.

agreed def unlikely to happen often as im sure they dop quality control but not impossible human error still has a chance untill the bucket of salt is in someones home


either way this sucks for jmes

yeah sure...just look how many have reported problems with Kent carbon, and I am 110% sure there are FAR MORE people using Reef Crystal than those that use Kent carbon.

It's a small world.

Not everyone who is in the hobby is part of an internet fish group. Just because there haven't been hundreds of reports doesn't mean hundreds haven't been affected. Working at AI I would say about 80% of our customers have nothing to do with internet fish boards and have no desire to join any either.

people may want to check with salt manufactures but i dont think they recommend you roll their buckets before use?
