Please Explain Precipitation

[GoVols]

Can I hijack this thread?

I've started dosing two part again using Dr. Foster & Smith Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride w/Magnesium Sulfate and Magnesium Chloride to boost Mg.

Using Reef Crystals with salinity at 35 ppt.

Mg was somehow low so I boosted it with 0.5 liter MgSO4+MgCl2 solution to 1400 in a 135 gallon system.

I dose the Sodium Carbonate first into my filter sock (high flow) and it precipitates out immediately forming large white flocks.

Not sure how to fix this? Any advice?

Tagging!!!!!!!!!!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate!

All I know is this is brilliant and hilarious. Very sig. worthy.
