You must have seen "blame the salt" posts in the past and known exactly how it would pan out....
The only difference here is that it's usually not someone with so much know how and experience posting it. I think that fact just makes people more curious as most others who make a statement like this are uniformly dismissed. Also, many of us use io. You scare people with this kind of a claim. You may feel there is no point, but the rest of us who use io and know you know your **** would sure like to know for sure if it was the salt we all use or not.

 Good god people he said it was the salt... There is no onus to proof, it's an opinion the can take it or ignore it. If people are so worried send your own salt away to get tested. As someone else said it doesn't seem to be a widespread epidemic so go on living your lives.

I would send my own salt away for testing if it nuked my tank if not for me but all the other people that use this salt. Never had any issues using reef crystals so I have no need to get it tested. Is salt even safe to use after 4 hours of mixing? Was always under the impression to let it mix for 24 hours. Either way its obvious nothing is going to come from this original poster is not going to send any samples in , it sucks for the rest of us . Will continue to use IO until there is actual proof the salt caused this.

Only for the reason that most reef related debates end in a spiraling school yard I'm right and you're wrong abiss I will end this with. You're right. You win skimmer juice. I will look further into the proper understanding and use of on line forum

My take
A few years ago I was the rep of an accused product (not salt though)... I've offered credits to retailers whom purchased the product, so they could refund their consumers as it cost less than the testing of said product . In the end it was not the product and another product was found to be at fault, but the forums had done their dirty work and the product had a bad rep. I don't even think it was made public what caused all the trouble but it was a member here who had the issues. Those credits were still issued and the product was not to blame. The internet , and forums can be nuts sometimes and turn things into a witchhunt.
Anyone reading this realizes that it is not conclusive, but might make sure to do an extra test or two of their salt before water changes which I would suspect is what the op is was trying to establish. I too would have sent some to upg, to have tested. But would have probably declined there free bucket had it been offered whatever the results may have been .

You should all be weary of your salt and brands don't matter I've had customers return every type of salt for all sorys of reasons and even once salt had no salt measured with a refract... it had nothing so prob a bucket of chemicals , sure sucks to be on the end of that I use to think then it happened so often that I just assume salt QC is crap and take each bucket with caution
 most of us are very lucky but I'll say that bad salt is not uncommon at all
