Kent Marine salt??

[tazdvl100]

I feel that my Kent marine salt is not dissolving properly in my ro/di water and I feel it is prolonging me doing my water change. Anyone have any ideas on this issue and maybe a fix??

Thanks
Chris

Whats it doing

how cold is the water?

The salt is not dissolving...it is leaving a film on the mixing tank and also a layer of salt at the bottom of the tank even though there is 60 gallons of ro/di water in the mixing tank. The water temp is probably not high enough probably around 65-70 degrees

Thanks

Are you sure its salt. I know I have excess calcium on the sides of my mixing bucket.

I probably wouldn't also attribute the film to kent salt (although i get that film and use kent salt as well).

The thing is that I have never had this problem until I started using the Kent salt on this water change. Never had it before using Oceanic

make sure your temp is up also. so it will disolve.
