I decided to switch to Seachem products, but ran into problems.

First, I am confused by the level of sulfur in fresh water. I used Vibrant salt and sent fresh salted water to ICP-test. The level of SO4 was almost 2 times higher than the norm: 5400 at a norm of 2500.

Secondly, freshly salted water has a very strange color. In the photo on the left is pure water, on the right is water with Seachem Vibrant salt.

Tell me, has anyone encountered similar problems?
