Cloudy water after adding PH buffer/Ca

Recommended Posts

I was adding my topoff water and I mixed in Seabuffer pH/alk and turbo Ca. When I added this to the tank, it clouded up very quickly. I assume the Ca percipitated and is visible in the water.

 

I already did a 1/4 (3gal) water change in an attempt to get rid of the cloudy water.

 

Is this going to harm anything? Will the cloudiness go away, or do I need to continue to do water changes?

 

Lesson learned. ???

I assume your top off was fresh water (have to ask)?

 

If the buffer is not fully dissovled, it can crash out of solution.

I use ro/di water for topoff.

 

Things are looking better now. The cloudiness went away. I was afraid of it harming my inverts. and fish.

 

All seems well. :)
