I mixed the salt with the RO water last night in a 5 gallon bucket.
I covereed the bucket with tin foil so that no dust would get in.
I just did the water change, and I noticed that the tin foil was black where it had made contact with the salt water.
I also noticed a small amount of black debris in the bucket that I had just emptied into the tank.
Is this a big problem? Have I introduced toxic metals/debris into the tank?
I just started the tank about a week ago, and it has 30 lbs LR,
30 lbs LS with a protein skimmer and ecosystem mud filter.
Surely I am not the only knucklehead to have done this.
Thanks for any replies.
