stuff on surface of water after I mixed my salt

[gsechen]

hey everyone,
its been a couple days of mixing and I used reefcrystals salt and a powerhead. But when the water is still , I see stuff on the surface. Anyone know what that is and if its ok?

thanks

I get that on some batches of RC
It has never harmed anything.

Just mix well before adding to the tank.

See it all the time... could be things out of the air collecting on the surface. Do you use a lid? Do you keep the temp up while its mixing?

 

[gsechen]

no my first mix was without a lid and without a heater....I'll try it with a heater next time as it is coming in the mail.

thanks

I don't use a heater or a lid.
My mag 5 heats up the water up to 81 perfectly.
