mag...yuck?


Opened up my container of mag and it looks yucky. Did it get contaminated? Should I throw it out?

I think my mag may have a little tint to it, but no where near that much. Was it clear the last time you looked at it?

I am not sure what kind of contamination could get to it and then what type of harm if might cause, if any at all.

This is just my storage container, no pump in it. I'm tossing it.

Today is mad scientist day - can you tell?

Gotta mix some new mag and some more Part 1.

Then test both tanks.

My new SW mix tested perfect! Wow.

That makes sense, if in doubt throw it out.
