I was dosing Reef code for a few days to slowly raise the calcium and alkalinity. However shortly after the water turned whiteish. It is a 90 gallon display with 28 gallon sump. Everything living in it seems to be doing fine still. I assume it was from Reef code B since that is a white liquid however it always disapated after a few seconds. I have done a 25% water change and that cleared it up slightly and am currently pulling water for another water change. This has been going on for about a week now

If you add both A and B at the same time it will cause them to precipitate

According to the web site Code B is one of those hokey all purpose buffers with lotsa borate and extra sulfur. I think the concensus here is a lot of eye rolling at these products.

So how do I get rid of the green water? Doing water changes and it just comes back. Greener then ever

Green water? I cannot see how that relates to Reef Code B.
