Alk and PH problem

Zoom In Coral Reef GIF by Justin


Welcome to R2R!!!
 
You CANNOT run saltwater through kalkwasser it will cause cal/alk to just precipitate out of solution.

You run your top-off (fresh water) through your kalk reactor to replace evaporated water.

Stop dosing everything and only do water changes. You have a major precip issue and the only way to stop it from continuing to occur is with time and water changes.
I Agree, kalk should only be dosed with top off water rodi as a percentage of your top off. stop all dosing only do water changes till everything starts to level off....
