Re: ghost crystal problem



I had the same problem.
Try placing the beaker, water and crystals in the refrigerator overnight.
The next day remove the beaker from the refrigerator and let it warm up to
room temperature. The bubbles will float to the surface rather than go back
into the crystals. Remove a lump from the water, tie it with a string and
suspend it in another beaker with fresh distilled water. Only the string
will be visible.

It worked for me.
Good luck.
