Hey all. So I am having some difficulty figuring out why I got this reef snow. I have seen many threads about calcium participate which is what I believe this is.
I run a Calcium reactor and also I run an Kalk reactor for pH boost. Regardless of my setup I am wondering how to get rid of this.
My levels are as follows - Alk 8.9, Calcium 410, and Mag 1350. I decided I wanted to raise my Calcium about 20 ppm. Keep in mind as I mentioned my levels have been stable for a few days now. I added 12 ML of Red Sea Foundation liquid (my tank is 65g) so that should have raised it only about 10 or so ppm. I tested about an hour after and it was about 420ish. Today back to 410 and snowing. Any idea what I could do or have done wrong and how to ellinimate the snow flakes? I am sure some of it is copepods but it is mainly "snowing" floats everywhere.
