So my dad used to keep salt tanks probably 35yrs ago and had some salt left over. Think this is still good?
I mean it's just salt right =P

Big +1 to this.Did you try mixing a small batch and testing parameters?
Comes down to risk/reward. How much did all the fish and corals cost in your setup?
Bingo! I would not put anything in my tank that is that old, goor or bad the savings of the old salt is not worth it. The sand alone in my tank is with more than a bag of salt so why risk my fish,corals and time spent, on savings of using 35yr old salt. Even if parameters are still in line that’s a huge risk I would not take.Did you try mixing a small batch and testing parameters?

I live in Jersey. Good point.Dang y'all though .... aren't you curious? I'd love him to mix up a batch and run an ICP on that to see what it has absorbed over the years.
(Editing for clarity - no, I would not use it to support life.... but I would use it to melt ice on the driveway if I still lived in Jersey)
Please keep us updated ... my inner Bill Nye is very curious.It was in my dad's basement cool dry area. The bag feels soft and it flows around in it. In fact there is still air in the bag!
I might use a little and see what it does.
