WTF IS WITH REEF CRYSTALS SALT!!
 

WARNING TO PEOPLE USING REEF CRYSTALS SALT!!
After doing my weekly water change with a new bucket of Reef Crystals Salt has completely Nuked my tank. To say the least I am ****ing ****ed. All the years of work and thousands spent have been ****ed down the drain.

For the record I have used this salt off and on for years with no problems(minus the alk spikes) .The impact was immediate on my tank after doing my water change. The water became instantly cloudy(as of now is still cloudy and smells bad) and my clown started swimming frantically around the tank. At this time it was 12am so I turned off the lights. When I checked my tank at 8am 99% of my LPS are dead or dying.

What is the Bach number?
Where did you buy it?

I've heard a lot of this lately with the Reef Crystals. I think there is a bad batch going around.

I bought it at Golds last week.

I wonder if that means its a batch from April 2009?? If so maybe something settled or went bad?

holy crap Jason!......so sorry to hear you lost everything.....also sorry I never got that frag of rainbow off ya:neutral:.....might have been able to get a frag of it back to you now.....

Wow. This is royally crappy!

Just to be clear . . . This is the Instant Ocean Reef Crystals that did this?

Yikes thanks for the warning I just bought a brand new bucket, I'll check my batch number when I get home

It looks like this person here had the same batch:

Edit: Based on the "RC1-160P 04/09 REV.A" identifier.

I have a bucket I bought from Golds a few weeks ago, have done a couple of water changes and no issues. I will check my info when I get home.

Is there anything that can be offered to help out? I'm in the NW and have 2 tanks going if your fish need somewhere to go, I have room.
