Alkalinity issues..

[meowzer]

I always mix my salt cold...never had a problem with it mixing as long as I had the powerhead running
I'm buying the salifert alk test today and reef buffer....

Coralife salt does not disolve as easily as other brands of salt, one of the reasons I stopped using it several years ago. I used the same method of warming the water first otherwise it would take forever to get all of the salt to disolve. Since I have used both Reef Crystals and currently Oceanic and niether have the same issue of not readily disolving in cool water.
