Bad bottle of Red Sea foundation?

[Ling_Thing]

I just opened this brand new bottle of Red Sea foundation B and shook it up and poured into my dosing container and I noticed it’s very brown and cloudy with a lot of debris settling at the bottom. I suspect i got a bad bottle somehow and it came from BRS and seal was unbroken. Thought Red Sea has good QC?

I'm no expect in this and I don't use it but that doesn't look right.

Is that diluted, or straight from the bottle?

Brs is hooking me up with a new bottle!

I thought part B was the alk part. You are showing part A?

Calcium chloride can have brown sediment in it, probably iron. Prestone Driveway heat was known for that, and generally was fine.

But getting a new bottle is fine too. let us know if it has the same coloration.

OK, let us know what the new one looks like.

So the new bottle arrived and it looks the same. I poured it all into the dosing container and noticed the bottle was still heavy even after shaking and I look in the bottle and it looks like there’s an inch or more of settled crstalized something so I pour that into my dosing container too and I set my magnetic stirrer on 40 percent and it just won’t dissolve and is clogging my hard tube from the dosing container to the bulkhead connector. Any thoughts on this?

 

[Ling_Thing]

Anyone?

 

[Ling_Thing]

I just diluted it 50:50 with rodi and doubling the normal dose and it’s working great!

 

[Ling_Thing]

I mean 1:1 sorry

Alk products often get precipitates in them since they are often pushing solubility and if they get cold, will precipitate.

Calcium supplements are generally fully soluble, Not sure why it might not be.

Just dose whatever dissolves on dilution or warming, and ignore the rest.
