After my AEFW incident, all new frags get a dip and a close inspection. You only want to go through AEFW once in a lifetime.

Even the best calcium chloride is going to have some impurities in it. Perhaps a medical grade would have a minimal amount, but that would be going way overboard IMO. I don't know what the sediment...

I think he's saying he goes through a jug of mix every 20 days, at least that's what I got from his post.
