This happened to me just last night. I just put a powerhead in the container
let it run for awhile and it cleared up.

Hi Paul
I seem to have this problem from time to time also. I seem to believe it is
from adding too much salt at once to the water. I find if I add a little
salt every hour when preparing my own 30gl water change, the water does not
get cloudy. But if I dump alot of salt into the 30gl vat all at once, it
gets cloudy and stays that way for about 24 hours. I have added it to my
tank cloudy and it clears up after one day with no bad effects.

Subject: Cloudy salt
Hi all,
A question, one that I have not really experienced myself, but heard others
mention. Two days ago I made up a batch of Instant Ocean, about 30 gals. I
use ultra-pure water (which is the purest you can get). Anyway, I mixed it
in a couple of 10gal containers without aeration, just shaking then I poured
it into a 30 gal bin yesterday ready to use tonight. The problem is the
water is cloudy, there seems to be a sediment or precipitate that has come
out of solution.
So...any ideas why? The salt is from a huge bucket, but has ben kept dry.
Is it due to poor oxygenation during mixing? is it just one of those
things??
let me know your thoughts,
Paul.
