I haven’t found any concrete info but maybe someone can enlighten me or point me in the correct direction.
When I tested this salt as part of my Ultimate Salt Test, it “failed” pretty bad IMO. The reason I say it failed is because the parameters were off pretty bad and it left a bunch of gunk in the bottom of the mixing station.
My question is this: do you heat your RO water before adding the salt? Or after you’ve added the salt? Or do you let it mix at room temperature and then heat before adding it to the tank?
I have heard that adding the salt into colder, room temperature water is preferred since Brightwell uses an anhydrous calcium. This heats up considerably more than other salts.
I would like to re-test this salt in my next round of testing but want to make sure I am mixing correctly. The other major fail IMO is Brightwell not giving specific instructions if the case turns out to be it needs to be mixed in cold water.
