LiveAquaria Reef Salt

Anyone else using this? I've been using it from almost a year without issue. Then I opened a new box and now getting an orange sludge forming on the bottom of my QT tank. Checked my RODI and still getting 0 tds, but I was due to change out the filters and resin. So did that and changed the filter and did a complete water change on my QT tank, orange sludge appears two days later. I have no fish currently in it so it's no from food or anything. Then I filled a white 5 gallon bucket and dropped a power head and heater in it and left it for 2 days. Water was still crystal clear. I then added salt and two days later the orange sludge started appearing in the bucket, which pretty much points to the salt. Just wondering if I got a bad box or if others have experienced this and maybe it

I've been using it off and on since they first started selling it.
I haven't seen anything like what you are seeing.
Kind of sounds like the brownish scum you get from Reef Crystals.

I had used reef crystals in the past, so familiar with the brown crust that forms in my mixing container from it, but never had any precipitate out in a tank before. It almost looks like someone dumped a container of food in the tank.
