Re: lurker finally joining
I didn't think the calcium was causing precipitation. I thought it was causing the white chalk like substance that was on the bottom and sides of the tank. It is much better now, but there is still some in tiny spots on the back wall. I usually just brush it off.

Re: lurker finally joining
Thats not exactly what I meant.Too much salt and too little water when mixing cause akalinity to be sky high which causes calcium to precipitate.Thats maybe why you have the deposits.I doubt if it bad salt mix but anything is possible.

Re: lurker finally joining
hmm interesting. However my salinity is at 1.021 right now and I am trying to get it higher. I keep adding a cup of the salt and it really isn't going up much. I am wondering how accurate this Red Sea Hydrometer is. I should prob get a refractometer, but I have spent so much so far that I am a little hesitant.

Re: lurker finally joining
Even if dont invest in a refractometer right now,Take your hydrometer to your LFS along with a water sample.You need to know exactly where its reading,and their not known to be very accurate to begin with.
