Yesterday I bought a cheap 80ltr tank to mix salt into and heat the water for water changes. I added 50 ltrs RO from my own RO/DI unit with TDS of ~200ppm in, 0ppm out. Then weighed the amount of salt (Seachem Reef Salt) which was advised on the tub of salt and put it in.
It's been mixing with the heater on now for about 30hrs and while the water is starting to clear up a little, theres what looks like quite a bit of salt dust on the base of the tank and on the heater. The top of the water looks very dusty and there's a kind-of brown gunk which has settled at some points around the edge of the water line.
I was just about to email seachem and see what they say but thought I'd see what you kind folk think first. Could it be my RO? Something on the tank (It was brand new and I rinsed it out)? Something on the equipment (which had been used before)? Something else?
