The levels of excess calcium being detected could very well be the source of super saturation and conversely the precipitate/ cloudiness.
As you stated why would I add a salt to my tank that doesn't work well when heated, mixed thoroughly or exposed to CO2? These are all key components in my reef aquarium...

Yap this salt is possibly the most controversial salt out there in market. People mainly leave this salt because of the precipitation but people who stayed with this salt always admired it.
I am sticking with this is because I don't need to buy any test kit other than nitrate and phosphate. Atleast for this batch
