Bad batch of salt?

[bingus]

Made a bucket of salt wet water earlier and not even 20 minutes later when I looked at it it had all of this black stuff at the bottom of the bucket.... I cleaned the bucket before I put water in so I know it’s from the salt. I’m using instant ocean reef crystals.

I made another bucket at the same time and no black stuff in it. Just dumped out the bucket and pulled some of it out with my fingers

Looks like residue. Clean that bucket after use and place cover on it and make it your dedicated bucket for saltwater

IORC, typical of that salt mix. It's not harmful to ue, but it puts a lot of people off that brand because of it.
