Fritz salt issue

[LVReefer94]

Every dang time i mix up fritz salt i get cloudy white water..... doesny mater what batch it comes from, what box or what bucket. What in the world is going on. Tropic marin and instant ocean dont do this crap... this picture is 10 hours of mixing.

Interesting. I've been using Fritz blue box for about 8 months without any issues. I don't let it mix that long though. I get the water up to temp, add the salt until it's at 35 and do the water change.

how exactly do you add your salt? Ive always weighed out what i need to get 30 ppt and add all of that and then slowly add more to rise up

I just slowly dump some in. I don't measure. I'll dump like 3 big scoops in and wait for it to dissolve. Then I'll do some more. I make about 20 gallons at a time. I know how much it takes before I get to 35, then I slowly add until it hits 35.

Huh, that’s odd. I have been using Fritz (blue box) lately. It mixes so fast for me. I put 20-21 cups of salt for 40 gallons of water, then it’s done mixing in 30 minutes to 1 hour. I just use a cheap pond pump to mix it.

I quit using fritz after the first box I used. Dkh dropped like a rock and lots of gunk in the barrel. Tropic marin pro mixes so clean. Since it's been unavailable I switched to brightwell and have been happy with it

Ive only had cloudy water when storing, but issue could be from over mixing

I'm on my last box of Fritz. The brown gunk and the low Alk are going to make we switch to something else.

Still got issues? My current salt brand is not consistent in alk so I am thinking switching.

I now use HW marine, cheap, clean and mixes fast. Numbers with it are around where my tank sits
