So I’ve been using instant ocean sea salt for a little bit and it seems like it’s not really mixing. It mixes in to it being sort of clear but when you look closer you can see salt crystals still floating in the water. I’ve got it mixing in a small bucket (for Pico tank) with a power head that’s 500gph so it should be mixing. Can someone help please?!!!
Are you aerating your mix as instructed? I found that 675g of salt to 5 gallons of RODI water mixes to a SG of 1.025@ 67*F. Mine mixes crystal clear after about 2 hours with AquaClear 50 powerhead.
Edit: If you don't have one, get a digital kitchen scale. Cups are relative and can be inaccurate. I do a lot of baking (My other hobby is cooking) and have found that recipes work almost infallibly when ingredients are measured by weight and not volume.
