Deposits in the water is my guess. If you are adding salt water you are probably getting a very fine layer of calcium i think it is, that will adhere to the inner surface of the glass. Happened to me when I would add FSW i had just made before it was completely mixed. Taking a mag float over it or just using a plain paper towel and going over it should lift it off no problems.

You're sure it's the glass and not the water itself? Try wiping the glass down with dilluted white vinegar.

Didnt, think about that wonton.

Yeah, cuz if it's not the glass, and the water gets sporadic hazing, then it could be algae blooms, which means he probably has high phosphates or something.

Yeah, try the dilluted vinegar solution and wipe down the glass.

I always have my new water mixing with a big pump for over 12 hours and it's still really hazy when I put it in the tank. Is that something I should worry about?

What salt are you using? Between the three salts I've used they all had different mixing times. Most people run theirs 12-24 hours for oxygen and mixing to occur. The red sea coral pro salt I use clears in about 30 minutes of mixing. Then I just let it aerate.

I use instant ocean. And I don't think i's the container caus I clean that out before every water change.
I'm also using tap water right now. I'm getting my RO/DI unit tommorow so next water change I'll see if that helps.

Instant Ocean took the longest to dissolve for me.
