Hey, has anybody ever noticed the core 7 3b solution start to harden? I have mine in a jug and the bottom 1-2” of it is rock hard. And the hose is now clogged with the hardened liquid

Yep. It is common and is caused by storing it at too cool of a temperature. Warm it up and you'll find it dissolves pretty quickly.

Good to know! Mine is inside my house. Surprised that isn’t warm enough.


Now the issue is, I have no idea how long it’s been hardened like this and how long it has not dosed 3b.

Looking at the website it says it is alk but my alk is stable, so idk
