Extremely High Alk In Instant Ocean Salt

[monocus]

i'm pretty sure that when they mix the chemicals in the manufacturing plant it is all blended before it is dispensed into the buckets.there might be small clumps in the mix that you might roll out to even out the ingredients,but nothing that would cause a major change.i would take the bucket back for a replacement

I would call IO, I have heard of several people getting bad salt and once they provide a sample...replacement salt arrived post haste. I would have done that had I not already used almost all of it up...thus the adage, test every batch.

I give my buckets roll only because it makes it easier to scoop (fluffier)

Had exactly this happen with some dry fertilizer for my freshwater tank. I had to sift and make sure the different elements were all broken up.

However for this salt...I agree that it's mixed long before it hit the bucket
