Jun 20, 2009 #1 Wes888 Reef enthusiast I just opened a new bag of Instance Ocean salt today. Mixed with RO/DI water and the pH (at 1.023 75.5F) is 8.54!!!! That seems quite high! Last edited: Jun 20, 2009

Jun 21, 2009 #2 ccCapt Reef Hacker How long did you let it mix? Did you have a powerhead in the container to keep it circulating?
Jun 21, 2009 #3 Wes888 Reef enthusiast I had it mixed about 30 hours ago. No power head. I just let it sit in the bucket after I stirred it to make sure 99% of the salt dissolved yesterday.
