Batch of bad salt, foreign objects in salt -- 1.026 = 5.8 dKH

So got a batch of salt, everything about it seemed wonderful including the reaction my corals gave me -- at first. Then I noticed I was having trouble keeping my dKH up, and 2 days later my corals began getting a little pale.. in a nano things move quick.. So as I was setting up for a water change I decided to check out the Alk in fresh mix... THis is something I do every time I get a bucket of salt.. But not this time.

The one freaking time I didn't test first, of course And before you ask -- I thoroughly mixed the salt, before mixing the salt.

Additionally... I found what looks like used sandpaper in my mix, and it looks almost like it was used on some type of metal... As it glistens in light, and leaves a residue if you touch it.


Dry glisteny sand paper
