I mixed some salt water yesterday (Friday) that turned very cloudy. It is still cloudy today, Is it safe to use?
The was and is around 80 degrees.
 
i've learned its called precipitation. it could be meany things like calcium or mag, normally i wouldnt want to use cloudy water and i always do tests of all of my major focus points like calcium alk ph and salinity if any of those are way off and i cant adjust them then i toss it out. though some salts do take longer to clear.

how did you mix your salt and what brand do you use?

I'm using Aqua Forest Reef Salt
I mixed my salt in a brute can. I it was the water temperature because the sixing station is in the garage and it gets really hot up here in Palmdale Ca.
