Hi there, I just found an Oceanic Natural sea salt mix (blue 50g jug)

Well its been stored at room temperature for around 4 years, can I still use it?

THX in advance

Yes, but if it was opened prior it might have lost some of its buffing capacity. Mix it and test ph and alk before adding it to the system.

If it has been closed and it is still loose, I wouldn't worry.

I agree, as long as it is not clumped into a hard chunk, it will likely be ok. Mix some up and test it to be sure.

Im pretty sure it was opened around 3 years or more ago... right now it looks like new on the inside...
