do u dose kalk? where do u does alk/cal?

i have same problem when i does it near the pump, make sure it is dosed in high flow area and mix well b4 flowing into gfo reactor.

I over did it when I was running two part and the alkalinity caused the gfo to turn into a rock. I noticed this white residue everywhere on the sump and pipes. Once I lowered it, it flowed freely and stopped caking.
