If I remembered correctly, the white particles are Calcium Chloride and if you add them directly into your tank, it will drastically alter your PH. I think I read it in Anthony Calfo's book.

Any brother care to comment?

[AlfaRomeo]

Gouldian, yup.. shouldnt let any of the white particles into your tank. Stricly should use the saturated clear water above the milky solution for dosing.. and gotta dose slowly

so can the residue be re-used? no rite?

[Michael Young]

astro, just keep adding water until its time to add more kalk.

[aStRoBo|]

meaning until i dun see any white residue?
