Salt problem

tami1024 · 10/11/2008, 10:03 AM

My bag of IO salt does'nt dissolve completely when I mix it. I did a wc on my 29 last week and it looked like it snowed in there. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do or recommend another brand of salt?

Try mixing the water a day or two before you do the change. Make sure to aerate the water at least a little before adding to the tank.

Did the salt somehow get wet while in the bag? Try a different salt.
