milky water

[jrizo1]

ok my alkalinity is low so i have been dosing alkalinity daily 25ml for a 90 gal tank. i do an auto daily water change with a litter meter, 2 gal daily
so i had 28 gal of salt water i divide that by 2 = 14 so i add 350 ml of alkalinity to that water that way there will be a 25 ml of alkalinity mix with every 2 gal of water but now the water is all white and milky
should i use that water?
what should i do ?

B complex always has that effect, no?

Whats your magnesium at? Sounds like you calcium may be precipitating out of the water due to low magnesium levels.

+1 precipitation in your freshly mixed water. Freshly mixed saltwater often has low magnesium. I wouldn't use it. I would also add the supplement to the main system, not in the top off in such high quantities. As mentioned, I would add it in smaller quantities, more frequently.
