I didn't do anything diffrent then any other time I did a water change so what could it be. > I have a 75 gal tank FOWLR, I just finished a partial water change and now > my water is cloudy.

I have had that happen with I/O brand salt already when it was at the initial stages of precipitating out due to hummidity leaking into the slat container. It usually settles out within a day or so. Could be caused by high calcium levels, or high bicarbonate levels. You could have some bad salt. Make sure moisture does not get in the salt. Salt buckets are best for this. A lot of people prefer the bags because they are already measured out for 50 gallons. And people have other reasons to prefer the bags. If you are using bags, store the bags in salt buckets, even if the bags are not opened, still store them in the buckets, as they often have tiny holes in the seals, letting moisture slowly leak in.
