you would think if they did it would be written on the bucket i know mine doesnt say anything about it:)

And, quite possibly WHILE in someones home.

H2Ocean does recommend a thourough mixing of their salt prior to use, they use different grain sizes in their mix that tend to settle out during transport.

it says this on heir packaging??

Yes, when you open the pail there is a leaflet explaining it inside, the salt is in a plastic bag in the pail. No instructions on outside of pail.

thats good to know, now if they would drop the hugeeee price lol its way to expensive:P

Interestingly, threads on other forums are starting to pop up regarding issues with reef crystal salt. Doesn't appear this is a one off situation.

So Jmes . . . Did your water look like this?

New bucket of instant ocean reef crystals. No sticker on lid. No t-shirt in bucket.

That's about 15 gallons of water that I mixed up about two hours ago. Just went downstairs to check the salinity, and that's what it looks like. It didn't look like that when I was mixing it . . . The clouding happened over time.

Egads that looks horrible.


Here is a Google search for "cloudy reef crystals" during the past 12 months only. Seems like quite a few hits.

Yeah my reef crystals mixes clear in 5 minutes. That definitely doesn't look right.
