Dosing alkalinity question...

[Justin....#JAMAS]

Hey everyone, just a quick question, I dosed, this morning, red sea part b alkalinity after testing to raise it a little to keep it stable and today I noticed around both power heads there is like this white cloud fog looking stuff hovering around some parts of the power heads! Has anyone experienced this? I dosed as instructed on the bottle. My parameters are all fine and pH is good! Kinda curious about this as I've never seen that happen before! If anyone's ever seen Hellboy its almost like a white cloud/fog stuff that is inside of that doctors suit lol

The white is attached to the powerheads (could be calcium carbonate), or in the water around them (likely bubbles)?

It was so weird! That white fog, can it be a be thing? I only dosed what the bottle did to, I didn't dose too much?

Bad thing

Can you answer where it is? If it is still there in the water around the powerhead (not a deposit on it), it is bubbles from cavitation and has nothing to do with the added product.

I haven't looked today but when I get home I def will! It didn't happen until right after dosing alk
