Default Finding Garbage in Royal Nature Salt

So when i first opened the pail the top of the salt was covered in hair, thought well thats nasty scooped it out and threw it in the garbage. I have since found about 4 peices of black garbage bags in my pail and getting fed up with it. What kind of crap am i using in my tank? Used reefers best for 1.5 years and never found garbage.

If you start finding fingers and toes, I'd say someone fell into the mixing machine on their way to carrying out the garbage.


Seriously though, that's poor quality control. First time I've heard of that. Can you exchange the pail?

I've not found anything in mine yet. But everything at that place seems very pricing for all cash sales. Just a thought.

Wow that sucks I use IO and while it's not the best salt out there thankfully I've never found unwanted extras in it.
