Poor title, I know.

So I forgot to seal my salt bucket lid and about the top 3 inches of my salt got damp and hardened. I broke it up and mixed my salt water for my water change over night.

I didn't notice it being overly cloudy in the bucket, but it did seem to not be as clear as usual.

But now after my WC my tank is pretty cloudy, more than normal and isn't clearing up as fast as normal

Anything to worry about? Anybody had this happen to them? I'm not running carbon at the moment.

Thanks.

I would test your parameters if this is a coral tank. For fish, probably not an issue.
Thanks, it's cleared up pretty well now. Just took awhile. I'll test tomorrow. Maybe had some precipitate form in the reef salt feom alk and mag
