Cloudy water when salt added....

Some of you may remember that I posted a thread about this a week ago.  After searching around on other sites I noticed that people who have the same problem, usually mix a whole bunch of salt in say a litre of water, mix this, then add the required water to make up the right salinity.

 

Now I did this exactly, and my water went cloudy.

I thought the Reef crystal salt was crap or bad.

 

Today I made a fresh amount of saltwater, but I added the required amount of salt for 30litres of water...

 

And got NO CLOUDINESS.

 

I think that if mixed the other way, in a small amount of water, with such a high salinity, the calcium precipitates-causing the cloudyness.

 

I just thought this was a useful observation to mention for the benefit of others.
