Hi guys,
Last night i put 15 gallons of ro/di in a rubbermaid tub, i added salt brought it up to 1.025 with a refractometer, put a quiteone 4000 i think, 900 gallons an hour in the tub to turn the water, and a heater and after 24 hours the water still appears cloudy, any thoughts as to why?

oh yeah the salt is Crystal Sea Marine Mix, have a 5 gal bucket of oceanic coming tomorrow maybe I will just pitch the bag since its almost gone, when I was using the salt for hypo I mixed the salinity to 1.009 and the water was crystal clear, any thoughts?
 
Did the salt do this before? You say you only have a small amount left. Is the salt rock hard? Sometimes this can cause problems with the salt. Try turning the pump off for an hour or so and see whats happens.
