Is it fairly normal to get some precipitation in dosing containers after properly mixing Alkalinity and Calcium for Recipe 1 and 2? Both started crystal clear when initially poured into dosing vessel. After a couple of weeks I notice some precipitation in each - more in the Calcium.

Recipe 1 (right) - Alkalinity with baked Baking Soda
Recipe 2 (left) - Calcium with Peladow (reduced by 20% as prescribed in recipe)
