I made up some salt water (60 gal) to do a water change. My mixing setup is in the garage and the water ended up getting up to around 100ºF. Well I moved the water into a couple of containers I had and moved it inside to cool down. The water has been cloudy since. In one of the larger container I put a power head and some carbon and it somewhat cleared up. I never had this problem before. I want to change out the water tonight and am wondering if I should or shouldn't use the water.

Calcium has come out of the water because it got hot. It is safe, just low in calcium now.
