Does it look like dandruff?
I set up the pump today. I mixed 10 level tsp into a gallon. I only set for 1ml a day for now. I know it wont do much or anything, but I have not yet settled on my plan.
Is baking soda what you would advise? I have some of the red sea part b (alk) on the way also, so I can use either.
Btw, your calculator is great. Thanks.
It can look like general cloudiness, or a little chunky/flaky. I show some pics here:

from it:
Figure 3. The transient cloud of magnesium hydroxide that forms when high pH additives are added. In this case, the alkalinity portion of B-ionic was added to a fairly still portion of one of my reef aquaria.
