Although I had a new bucket of Reef Crystals, I shook it up vigorously before mixing it up.
FWIW, shaking can actually cause separation and striation of the different components of a salt mix. Someone from Instant Ocean/Reef Crystals told me they had actually tested that and found it to happen. So you are probably best off not shaking a salt mix before using it.![]()
thanks Randy--that's a very interesting concept.
Can you elaborate on "separation and striation of the different compounds?"
