I have been using reef crystal for a year now and never ever had brown sludge. I have gone through 4 buckets already and nothing but happy. I have huge large palythoas and zoanthids polyps and my sps are doing great and growing very fast.
I will not change salt and will stay with Reef Crystal. I love it and it is much cheaper than H2O which I tried and had bad results with my zoanthids and some SPS. Best salt I ever used and I tried a few (H2O, Red Sea Coral Pro, Seachem). It always mix clear and fast. I even use it right after mixing when replacing the water from the coral I sell and it clear become clear in no time.

I love it as well and just bought 10 pails =)
I'm not very good with rinsing my mixing container after a water-change so I think letting things sit isn't great either. I think what I'll do from now on is get the next batch mixing immediately to make rinsing it unnecessary. |

so what they rinse it a tad bit better and add mag,ca etc. not worth it unless you like to max your bioload out. everything else can be added.

Idk were ur getting salt but $10 a bucket seems pretty cheap, you must let me know. it's a $6-8 difference from io to io reef in 160g pails and a 4 dollar diff on the bags it still cheaper then other salts and I haven't had to dose since starting i think its a better instant ocean salt. My coral are ALOT happier since changing I clean my w/c equipment less I don't have to dose calc or alk and it's still cheaper then the rest of them its worth it to me. And for the record iv been using io for awhile now cuz I found the rest to not be worth the extra $10-25 all I was asking was if others liked the change
