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. |

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

those numbers just mean reef crystal salt 160 gallon in a 5 gallon bucket. i have the 200 gallon boxes and the batch number is on each bag. as i look threw all my buckets of reef crystal salt and i have no clue where the buckets keep the batch number. i dont know if this info helps. ill try calling instance ocean and ask where to find it on the buckets. |
