Brown sediment in mixed water

[TheReefKeeper]

Good tests I was very curious on this thought it was the heat from the circulation pump and this ^ pretty much confirms that's what started the growth.

As far as mine went I had the pump on circulating for a week then it sat stagnant for around a 3 weeks after that.

So far 80 gallons of Reef Crystals and still crystal clear inside the holding tub I have about 8 gallons left now and I'll snap some pics of the stained container.

Mine molded I had black mold on the walls of my 80 gal. Auto water change whole tank turned cloudy and lost everything except zoas.
I went back to reef Crystals evverything is a lot better. The container is stained next time I mix I’ll take some pics of the stains. So this isn’t a salt I would hold for long periods of time.

This happened when you switched to Aquaforest salt?

I was storing it in a 80gal holding tank was no switch I started a new tank with this salt and ditched it right after this happen.

That brown build up is not good, I did a test a while back and found P04 started to rise the longer the water sat with a hanna checker, i mix , warm, then change, just my 2 cents
