Your procedure seems solid. Can you think of any reason to suspect contamination? Or do you feel confident that's the salt batch?

It's possible there's some contaminate. I don't know where it would come from unless my mixing pump is rusting. I will inspect it. Otherwise it could be part of the saltmix being they are reef specific salts and often boost many different elements and often include other organics not in regular salt mixes. Iron is an essential part to the growth of many things like bacteria and algae.
