Hi everyone!
making my first batch of saltwater as im just starting to set up my tank. Made rodi water and put this in my tank since i didnt have a 50 gall brute. I just added instant ocean salt yesterday, no heater, and had 3 pumps on to help mix the water. Adding the salt made the water very cloudy. Kept mixing with the pumps overnight but it still looks a bit cloudy this morning? (Havent added anything else yet...just made saltwater)
I know with adding the sand and rocks, itll get cloudy again anyways, and will do a large water change after cycling is done, but is this something to be concerned about? Should i now heat the water? The instructions on the bucket doesnt say anything about the temp of the water. My salinity is at 1.024. Thank you for your help!
