its a ***** brand salt. I have had more customers come and say how much this salt sux big time. I personally have never used it, but a lot of customers have stated to my face that
" this salt is absolute garbage and takes a half hour or longer to dissolve with a power head mixing water”
Never consistent, chunky, and a lot of garbage floats and doesn’t dissolve.
All comments made by customers.

I mostly use Instant Ocean, and compared to that Aquatic Gardens does take a while to dissolve, but I've tried lots of salt mixes that had the same problem. As for garbage floating in the mix, maybe they need to clean out whatever it is they're mixing their water in. I never had any problems like that.

It was on sale at ***** for 17.89, and according to the website a 50 lb bag came with a 25 lb bag for FREE. ***** employees had never heard of it and my local ***** didn't carry it, so I got Instant Ocean instead. My first priority was quality, so I am glad they didn't have it in stock after hearing the comments above.
