You mixed salt in your 210 tank... And it's stuck to the walls of the tank? The salt?

I have no clue. lol It doesnt come off with a foam brush. razor works a little but not much. I had a bubble problem with the hammer but I shut everything down
and will start to work on the bubble problem. maybe some type of reaction or just bad salt. dont know. Ill try to post pics tomorrow.

I think you are experiencing what is known as calcium fallout. Only way to fix that is a lot of scraping. Did you put the salt mix in the tank and then add water? That is usually how it happens.

Agreed. this will also happen if you add the salt to the water too fast... some of the calcium will precipitate out. Not ideal but not a deal breaker either

Carefully use a scraper. Carefully.

try a dual edge razor and a pair of hemostats, or a single edge razor and a vice grip. oh yeah and be careful it is much easier than you think to scratch glass.
