    Default Excess Kalk in water change...??

    So I began making up a batch of water for a water change, 15g. I had already poured in 10g of water and about 6 cups of Seachem salt mix. I then began pouring the last 5g in and found out I had small build up of Kalk on the bottom leftover from an old batch, maybe about 3 tablespoons. I continued adding the remaining salt and have been mixing it for 2 hours. I was already that far so why not see what happens. Well the water has been very cloudy for the last hour and has began to "scum up" with white foam. Just a little not much.

    So any reason not to use it for a water change?

    it will cloud up you tank for a while because of the precipitate, but i dont think it would effect anyting else negatively long term,, that being said, its not my tank,,, i would have serious reservations about anything i'm not 100% positive on
