Can anyone help me figure out what is growing inside my all for reef dosing container? Is it normal? Will it harm anything? Advice for future batches? This is the powder form that I mixed myself

I assume RODI water was used, maybe check the RODI water and clean the container before next use. Once used up I would also check the mixing ratios next time you mix it. At the correct ratio nothing should grow in AFR.

When I used AFR I even boiled the RODI water before use to sterilize it and to improve solubility of AFR (I don’t think it helps with solubility). Also I used magnetic stirrer to make sure it was clear when mixed.

I have not seen any growth in AFR when I used it.

Good luck,

Agreed. When I use to use it, I mixed it with a magnetic stirrer for like 30 minutes. It just wasn’t for me. I have a container with like 80% in it. I need to donate it to a reefer.
