Maybe I never noticed before, but I just mixed up a batch of All For Reef and it is light brown. Is this normal?

Its normal, if you look at old videos about it they say its just the iodine/iodine(?) component

I'm not convinced a brown color relates to iodine, but there certainly are things in AFR that will readily turn brown, such as iron, and I agree to not worry too much.

Not worrying about something reef-related is great!! Thanks everyone.
