Does NoPox precipitate

RyansReef · Mar 15, 2020

I just created DIY dosing container out of glass bottle so I can see where the level of my NoPox is but I am seeing some fine yellowish sediment in the bottom of the glass. I was reusing my first NoPox bottle and adding to it as it got low or empty. Have been running for about 10 - 12 months. Could this have been accumulating from the NoPox or is this maybe something that didn’t get fully cleaned out of the new glass bottle? (It was a Voss Tangerine Seltzer and not just straight water but I thought I cleaned it well).

Thanks for considering.

Might be some trace elements in NOPOX that oxidize over time and precipitate.

I guess I really just need to clean this out and probably dump the existing contents out too as I am not sure what this is and if it is changing what I am really dosing into the tank.

I personally wouldn’t toss it. There are none of the organics in the precipitate, and it’s an open question what benefit any other ingredients might be providing at all.
