new salt
so I got a new order of Red Sea Pro salt.. It's all chunky and not real "loose" salt.. Does this matter?

I had that happen one time with the Red Sea Coral Pro. I had to take a ball bat to the bag and bust it up, lol. It didn't seem to cause me problems, tested out the same as any other bucket I've had.

Moisture is usually the cause... I would test to make sure the levels are ok but my guess is you will be good to go with it. Its just a pain.

a lot of times that can cause precipitation of alkalinity and calcium, so I would test the water prior to using it if you're keeping any demanding corals.
