Old salt still good?
I'm getting back into the hobby after being out for about 10 years and still have several buckets of salt in my barn. Is it still good? It's been sealed. Any thoughts? Thanks!

As long as it's not hard as a rock you should be good.
If it is use it to cycle the tank then change it out. Test kits, which you need anyway will shed more light on it.

Thing that's most apt to go is the buffering. If it flows easily when poured, it should be all good.
