Salt not disolved

[Bsvenonius]

So I had some pre mixed salt water that's been sitting for about a week. I decided to do a water change so I added a power head for 45 minutes to mix the salt and water. Removed old water, added new water and now it looks like snow floating on top. I tried coffee filters to remove the big stuff but it didn't work too well. Any ideas/suggestions for emoval would be great. Thanks!

net it off. But the important question---is it undissolved salt? Calcium deposit? Or what?

 

[Bsvenonius]

I thought it was the undisolved salt. I'll try and net it off. Thanks for the help.

Update:netting does not work. It goes right through it. I'm thinking its calcium deposit?

I don't know about a calcium deposit, but the link below might help.

Good article. My PH is on the low side and temperature is between 78,79 and according to that article a higher ph and temperature shouldn't result in the calcium carbonate. But I guess anythings possible. I also have a canister filter with foam pads and chemi pure. Is is possible it's time,to change the carbon ? I was advise to change it every two months or so.

Lift your power head nearer the water surface to flow the snow floating to the overflow box

Hope this help

both power heads are pointed at the surface to agitate the water and I do not have an overflow box unfortunately :/. maybe Ill just test, wait it out and do a bigger water change this upcoming weekend and see if it dissipates.
