This weekend before my tank was ready to setup, I went ahead and got some salt mixing. The biggest container i mix it in is like 45 gallons. I dropped two 50 gallon size Instant Ocean bags in it and put two powerheads to help dissolve. I set the tank up the next day and transferred the salt water over and fill it on up with water. Now i know it takes a little bit to dissolve salt but should it still be milky white this long after mixing? Did i mess up and have it too concentrated for too long? 100 gallons worth of salt in a 45 gallon container.

Why not try just putting one 50 gallon salt mix in your 45 GALLON container.
I assume your tank is approximately 100g? If so, every time I've used IO it has left some undissolved residue in the bottom of my Brute. If you dumped it all in the tank, you will probably have to let this stuff settle out or else put a large HOB filter on to get the particles out.
If your tank is smaller, then I think I know what's wrong.

its actually 165gallons. Im moving everything over from a 55 gallon including some water. The only reason i added so much salt to so little of water is because the tank wasnt ready so i had to mix it in the rubbermaid 45 gallon. I has clear up considerably this morning.
