Help with a dosing question

[brownsalt92]

I've noticed when my brs doser dispenses my Alk(soda ash) portion it almost looks like it is gummy looking. I have calcium and alk run 30 mins apart I have the hoses put where the emerald 26 has pre drilled holes. Is this to little of flow? If you look at my temp probe.
In the picture That's the return inlet and you can see the little bits of it floating around.
Also my Alk is spot on 8.6dkh in the A.M. but when I get home and test about 6 PM it test 7.7dkh I dose from 8 pm until 10 am should I have it dose around the clock for that alk portion? My calcium and mag are spit on 450 ca and 1350 on mag.

Tank volume is 100 gal
Dose 80 ml of each alk and calcium 20:00 until 10:00.

I would try a little more flow and that should help. I would consider breaking up the dosage through out the entire day so that you are not having such a large alk swing. How much is it affecting your PH the way you are doing it now?

What I did to resolve that was I placed the smallest circulation pump I could find under where the dosing pump dispenses to mix the buffer when it dosed.

I just recalibrate my ph probe again my apex ph probe has been off since day 2 of use.

Api test kit says 8.3ish

I used these ph solutions brand new at 77 degrees 7.0 and 10.0 ph ph probe still is off.

I can run the hose into where my water dumps befor my filter sock and that should help

Ya that will help and any sold chunks that might come from the bottle will be caught in the sock

I dose my alkalinity every hour on the hour all day so never a large amount at one time. That said, every drop of alkalinity creates a little white cloud. It's never present by the time it gets to the DT. I wouldn't worry about it a bit.
