I just finished mixing my 45 gallon Brute container with brand new rodi water and new instant ocean saltmix that I just opened. I have it mixing with two maxijets for 24 hours now. The water is weirdly dark. I have a container right next to it with rodi freshwater and its clear as day.
I have mixed saltwater many times with this container for over a year now. Do you think one of the maxijets could have leaked some kind of oil or something? I have a cover so nothing could have dropped in it.
So its either the two maxjets leaked some crap, the saltmix was bad, or I cant think of anything else. Should I just keep on letting it mix? Is it bad to use? Its 45 gallons of brand new mixed salt so I hate to throw it away but I will if you guys say i should.
The only thing that was different with this batch was I dumped in a LOT of salt with very little water (less then 5 gallons) so the salinity was like 100mS while the bucket was filling with water and now its down to 60mS so its still a little too salty but could this have caused the darkyness? its not black. just like a little muddy looking.
