I have been dosing manually using a separate syringe for each component.

Yesterday I added them to a dosing reservoir and am concerned about the precipitate in the Calcium Foundation A (center chamber) and Nopox being very cloudy and some precipitate this morning (third chamber)

I have been very careful not to cross contaminate, but of course in the bottle and in the syringes they looked fine. Reservoir was cleaned with RO /DI water and allowed to dry.

The alkalinity solution looks fine.

The solutions are well in date and opened within the last 30 days.

I wouldn't worry about the calcium product.

Is the NOPOX diluted? If so, it may grow bacteria.
Nopox is straight out of the bottle. I have been using it, and have not seen any ill effects in my tank. I just noticed the color when I put it in the dosing container.
 
How did the MarineColor reservoir work with NoPox? I am looking into this and was worried about Evap.

Thanks,
