I picked up a bucket of the Coral Pro recently and am finding that it is mixing very cloudy. Anybody else seeing this?
I used circulation pump for 3-4 hours and then let it stand overnight; 35ppt.

Wondering if I got a bad batch??

Did you mix it in cold water and then raise the temp? It also can’t mix more than 4 hours and needs to be used ASAP.

One of the worst salts I’ve tried personally.

I'm in Florida where my RODI water comes out around 77F. I mixed for 3-4 hours then let it stand overnight. Still cloudy.
I wrote to Red Sea. My local pet shop said "bring it back" (for a replacement with blue bucket).
I've been using ESV for years and love it but ran out and not finding an easy way to get it in Florida (without spending a fortune for shipping).

Free shipping with BRS.

Coral Pro salt needs to mix at 68°. It precipitates super easy and is very unstable. Can’t be left overnight either. Use within 4 hours
