I only use Tropic Marin classic sea salt and figured my issue had to be unrelated to the current Pro Reef recall. But 2-3 months ago, my mixing tank got this dark brown/redish residue. Bleach did nothing but citric acid seemed to work in making it go away. I figured it was an iron issue and checked my RODI filters which showed no browning typical of iron (I assume). I've cleaned my mixing tank top to bottom multiple times now and finally did some checking.
One of my current 'used' buckets of salt is from Turkey. I just threw a bunch of buckets out, so I don't know if I actually had more of them. I compare buckets side by side below and you'll notice that in addition to the label, you can determine the Turkish one here because it uses a plastic handle rather than metal.
Does this appear to be similar to the Pro Reef issues?
