Last time buying INSTANT OCEAN

Another way of looking at it is thatafter 30 years you only had this 1 problem with their salt….not saying they shouldn’t do the right thing by you though. I mean other salt brands have had bad batches that people swear crashed their tanks…. Could be worse.

If you run a 1/4 cup of rox carbon in a nylon bag it will pickup the organics and you wont have the issue.
I used this method and my 55g drums nevr had buildup. I made and stored it for weeks with no residue. Just a nylon bag dropped in with no circulation.

Just hang it in the mixing container? I've never heard this but I'm willing to try it. I think I have some rox and some other type that I don't run in the tanks so it's just sitting.

Did they not ask you for your address?

they did NOT ask for address- that's the point

That’s a shame. I wonder how often that happens. Not doubting you but how do you weigh your buckets? Using an old empty? 6” is crazy. Idk I ever notice, it’s usually quite close to the top. Also curious where you purchased from?

i used a scale and sent them a picture of the weight

I buy the big box with the individual bags in it. Being an older woman those were easier for me to handle but anyway I've never had a problem buying it that way.

I just dropped it in.
I dont store salt water anymore.
I mix it, bring it to temp, adjust sg, and change.

I've already been thinking of switching but tanks are currently doing so well I'm afraid to make any changes. If I had a fancy mixing station I probably would have switched just because of the residue left behind but mixing in brutes I just rinse them every few months and don't worry about the crust that doesn't come out with a rinse.

Ditto

I’ve only had issues with buying too many boxes and the unopened bags not being air tight for long long periods of time.
