2-Part Alk Turning Brown?

[mbarber87]

I am new to dosing, but I feel like this shouldn't be happening. No coral look negatively effected (been dosing this for about 3 weeks now), but I am assuming the ALK is bad or does this regularly happen?

Unless there's something in the DOS that is hidden is metal, I am not sure what else it could be other that rust?

Product is the ESV 2 part. Calcium looks crystal clear btw.

It's unusual, but color is a hard way to judge purity as only a tiny bit of, say, iron, can color the water.

Thanks for the reply! I was getting nervous lol. No issues with the coral or fish too so I was crossing my fingers
