B-Ionic Part 2 Calcium is cloudy

patriot dude · Mar 11, 2022

I've been out of town for a few days and came home and noticed that the Calcium component of the B-ionic that I dose has turned cloudy. This has not happened before that I can remember. The gallon jug has not turned cloudy, but my dosing bottle has. Both are indoors inside a cabinet (or inside my aquarium stand) at about 75 degrees.

precipitation, follow the instructions on the bottle and place the bottle in a watertight plastic bag and then submerge it in warm water. shake it after you remove it from the water the precip should mix back in with the water

I cannot see how that happened except for a contaminant getting into it. Like some of the alk part or some seawater

The alk part is prone to precipitation, but not the calcium part, typically.

I went ahead and replaced the calcium after I was not able to dissolve the precipitate back into solution by warming it up for a while and mixing. I've never had this happen before after using B-ionic for nearly 20 years.
