Where are you getting $170/bucket for TM Pro?I Personally think you can be a successful reefer if it’s $40 salt or $170/bucket .
You can’t be successful / healthy in longevity if you eat McDonald’s everyday compared to salad with salmon

Experience is never waste grasshopper!Tropic Marin Pro no longer mixes clean. I can confirm via the 6 buckets I just mixed. What a massive waste of $.
can you take a pic I'm mainly curiousJust found this thread after searching "Tropic marin Pro brown residue". I've been using TM Pro with no problem. My 120gal mixing tank is always clean even when letting the salt sit for weeks. But this last batch (that I probably bought in late Nov) has turned the bottom of my white acrylic tank almost black! The sides are all a tinted a rusty brown. It wipes off easily enough and has no distinct odor that I can tell.
I stock it up so I have two more boxes to use. I'm not sure if I should throw it out.
Has TM responded about this recent quality control issue? Has anyone seen any lab studies on what this contaminant is mostly made of? I'm going to probably do an ICP test and see whats up. I'll share the results
Thanks
I too have nasty black residue buildup on my brute. Hopefully I’ll remember to post a picture of my can. Never had an this issue previously.can you take a pic I'm mainly curious
It's good to find out others are having trouble with Tropic Martin salt too. I've used it for about a year and a half. My last bucket I noticed had a plastic handle instead of metal. And the salt is definitely not the same as the old stuff. It mixes dirty!
Has anyone noticed a difference their tank using Tropic Martin that mixes dirty?

I just literally finished a brand new mixing station and batched 55 gallons of TMP in the right cylinder. I’m curious of the residue on brand new containers.
The recent buckets that I received have been fine, but the two that I received late last year left that brown funk residue at the bottom of my buckets. I just went through a crash and I wouldn’t be surprised if the bad salt had a hand in it. Good news is that I think it was limited to a bad run. Would love to hear TM respond. Honesty says a lot about a company.
Been hesitant to use the Turkey bucket I’ve had for a couple months now because of the issues I’ve heard about. I’ve only been using the metal handle German buckets and still have an issue.Check your buckets, was the salt made at the Turkey facility or Germany?
