Hiw bad is damp salt?

[Sarah1990]

Hi I'm new to the hobby and havent yet set up my tank. I had my salt delivered but the tub was badly cracked. I've been told they will either collect and replace it or give me a partial refund.
I dont have a tub bit enough though so all I could do is double bag it to keep it from damp.
If it got a bit damp would it be completely unuseable as a bit of extra money would be handy for the rest of the set up if its possible to keep the salt in a useable condition?

First of all welcome! IMO damp salt really doesn’t make a difference, just may make it a little harder to mix when it hardens up. Salt is salt is salt, you should be fine as long as no contaminants get in it.

+1 might need a chisel the next time you get in it.

If you can spread it out on a sheet of card board so that it will dry loose instead of in a clump, that will go along way to making it easier to desolve it when mixing it up.

I’ve used damp salt with no issues.

Sorry, that was suppose to be a reply to the original post. My apologies
