If you are not mixing the entire contents of the box, you are not really able to make the diagnosis that there is a problem. Salt elements can settle during transit. It is always best to buy salt that is packaged in the quantity that you will be mixing.

Thanks I was thinking that was a factor. But who makes batches of 200 gal? I do a 10 gal water change each week and mix up a 20 gal batch. I mixed the bag up really good waited 12 hours till test. How long is it safe to keep saltwater stored ? I'll get a bigger mixing barrel but 200 gal is alot of watter for me.

I tested a couple boxes of fritz salt for the LARS club. I found it to be lower than advertised in calcium, alk, and magnesium. I, like many, don't mix entire boxes at a time so I was a little disappointed. Found that I had to mix more than my normal 2.5 cups to reach 1.026 salinity. I buffered it like I normally do anyway for most salts so no harm no foul.

All in all I have been using this salt for about a month now and I like it. As with any salt I recommend you test all batches going into your tank. You should also mix the boxes or buckets you have before scooping from it.

I mix about a quarter of the box and my parameters are all less than what they advertise on multiple boxes.

Works out for me though since I run my alk at around 7.5.
