Hello Reefers,
I needed to increase my pH so I got some soda ash and made a mixed solution with RO water. After letting it sit for 12 hours I decided to add it to my tank. My tank was cloudy for a while and had some remains of soda ash that didn’t completely dissolve. The water cleared but there was soda ash on the glass and walls. I was able to clean the glass but not the back of my BioCube plastic black wall. Looks shady. I’ve attached photos for reference. I used a sponge, toothbrush, and finger. Nothing seems to dig it out. Is it stained? Thank you in advance, it’s making my tank look a little off and appreciate the help.
