B-Ionic Supplement #1??

[manny]

Lately when I've been adding my alkalinity supplement, the #1 bottle of my B-Ionic, I've been getting these little white feathery lookin things occuring when the cloudiness of it goes away. Anybody know what could be causing this?

mine does the same thing. just pore it in your overflow and that won't happen. than i pore my cal. in the tank and let the two meet

You are making Calcium carbonate. It could be that your calcium is to high. I add my buffer supplement to my my make up water. That dilutes it and allows it to disperse faster. Remember that when you first add these supplements, you are creating a zone of extremely high concentration at the point of addition. I would suggest a combination of adding the supplement slower and in an area of maximum flow like in front of a return, or like I said, adding it to your make up water so as to pre-dilute it.

I have two jugs of make up water. One for the A and one for the B component. I make up my own A & B and don't use Ionic, but its basically the same thing.
