Batch of bad salt, foreign objects in salt -- 1.026 = 5.8 dKH

[120reefer]

I am so confused.. ..What exactly was fixed in the begining? From what date, or batch number is the salt supposed to be fixed?



I got a new bucket made in Nov, 2016 batch number 00596 and the bucket is changed. It's a bolder color and has a metal handle and not a plastic one like before.

I've never seen a bucket like that .... do you have a picture of it?? Just curious [emoji41]

This is was a recent change to address a common complaint about the handles.

Not sure if this thread has died but thought I'd report on my experience. I mix up 60L at a time, I was using Red Sea and I'm now on my second bucket of AF. Never has a bucket mixed to what is written on the bucket, I always have to add something.

I'm on bucket number 000617. Mixed to spec on Mag and Cal, 0.5 dkh low.

Hello,
We are testing all batch of salt on ICP-OES - if you need detail of your batch I can send you results, please contact me. Home tests kit are not accurate as ICP-OES that's why you can see different results.

You have no quality certificate?

I've used 2 buckets of AF reef salt.

Pros:

I like how it mixes. Consistent numbers each week.

No clumping/hardening
No blue tinge in water

complaints:

mag is 1480 batch claims 1350

Ca is 400 batch claims

I have had issue in both tanks having a diatom algae on my glass and sand.
I have low nutrients and the only change was the salt

I no longer use this salt but I will say that when I did I used the probiotics version. I went through four boxes and two buckets and I will say that I never received a certificate in any one of them. They never mix consistently either. I had the worst algae outbreak ever and it was the only change in my SPS dominant 180g system. I purchased a bucket at rap Orlando the last time. At the time that I was using this salt there was very little information out there. So when I went and picked up the salt at rap I was then informed that you must use the AF no phosphate supplement with this product. It would have been nice if there was information like that contained with the salt when you purchase the salt....
