First of all, this information was confirmed at the beginning of 2023. That means it has been two years.
You're wrong—100% of people did not know about it.
There weren’t people experiencing serious issues. There were those who exaggerated the situation to take advantage of it.
Yes, there was an issue. But it had no harmful effects on aquarium livestock.
Again, you're mistaken. I'm not trying to drag anyone through the mud. I'm persistently saying that if you still have the product, you can use it with complete peace of mind. What you’re saying is in complete contradiction to this.
Yes, it may seem strange. But the reason is simple. On January 8, 2025, I saw a picture showing that salt from Turkey was still being tested. The person conducting the test stated that they found no issues. I then explained to them in great detail that this was precisely the point and reassured them that it posed no harm to aquarium livestock.
My dear "know-it-all" friend, let me tell you this: As someone who has sold thousands of tons of pharma-grade salt to American companies producing medical solutions in Turkey for years, I can say with confidence—these companies manufacture dialysis solutions, and the salt must be 99.9999% pure.
If, on January 8, 2025, that person was still able to test that salt without it solidifying or hardening, then the sodium chloride in the mixture must contain an anti-caking agent. And sodium chloride containing an anti-caking agent cannot be considered pharma-grade. Given that you claim to know this business so well, did it never cross your mind to ask how clay ended up in pharma-grade salt?
Anyway, I don't want to drag this into a long sequence of discussions. I also don’t appreciate your tone. That’s why I won’t be responding to you.
Here’s your problem (besides your attitude): it wasn’t one single incident of people losing livestock. There were dozens upon dozens of reports. The common denominator was TM salt from Turkey. Could it have been something else that every single one of them was also using? Possible but highly unlikely.
To not even entertain the idea that something happened is complete arrogance and downright dangerous business.
