Noob Question

[ford81502]

I am going to start my first salt tank within the week. Is there a such thing as bad salt. I looked at some the other day it looked like a brick. Should it be stuck together or loose. I think it should be loose but i came to the saltwater GODS for the answer. THANKS

if its stuck together like a brick, from my experience it's been exposed to moisture somewhere. I have always used reef crystals and have never had a problem. Evryone on here will have diff opinions and experiences with different salts. Reef crystals claims to be higher in calcium but i always have to add calcium evry once n awhile to keep between 400-420ppm
