Salt mixture residue removal?

[Reef Reaper]

I use Reef Crystals for my tanks. The tanks are fine but the residue in the mixing container. I was wondering if there was a quick method of removing the residue from the mixing pumps? The salt is great but maybe it is time for a different, less messy salt. Any suggestions, i know this is an old question that has been asked many times. Thanks for looking

Try some citric acid and water. Should take it right off.

I tried the citric acid and water but it was still stuck on but thanks for the info.

Hmm. It usually works for me. I do over mix it though. Use a lot more than needed.

Sure! To quickly remove residue from mixing pumps, soak them in a 1:1 vinegar and water solution for a few hours, then scrub gently with a soft brush. If you're considering switching salts, Tropic Marin Pro Reef or Red Sea Blue Bucket are popular cleaner alternatives with less residue.
Would you like help comparing those salt mixes based on your tank’s needs (like coral types or parameters)?
