Is it normal for reef fusion 2 to do this?!

[Reeflix]

I was dosing reef fusion 2, put it in the tank and this happened, is this normal?! Also is this going to be a problem? Don’t know if this will help, but cal is at 450.

Not sure what the picture is showing, but high pH two parts should be added to a high flow area to disperse and redissolve the magnesium hydroxide that forms.

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.

The white chunks were what happened when I put the reef fusion 2 in the tank, I did put it in a high flow area as well, I was just worried that it was bad if it did that

In the future, maybe add it more slowly and you might dilute it first in ro/di if it keeps happening.
