OR.. he could have a
very high concentration of the FW salt.
However, I'm wondering if it is a mineral deposit? Usually salt creep isn't that hard to get rid of. (at least not for me.. usually wipes off with just water).
I was kinda wondering if he was dosing kitchen salt? Aquarium Salt from the LFS or Kosher/canning salt from the grocery store, has basically no additives like iodine or potassium, sea salt contains some trace minerals, calcium and carbonate buffers, which should not be used in a FW system. Table salt usually contains Iodine as an additive
Hmmmmm What do you use Mturner615????
Either way, I'm betting the concentration is too high for the needs of the tank.
