Calcium..Where did it go...
So I made a new batch of water and I notice that after adding the water to my tank my rubbermaid rough neck had a white powder stuff all over it. I checked my water and i notice my calcium down to 260... I am guessing all the calcium left my water... It was kinda warm. I use pumps to mix my water overnight and they heat the water. Can it take the calcium out?. Now i am doing purple up in my tank.. Its kinda a new tank so i dont have any other form of calcium on hand. Can my RO water be bad? I haven't had this issue be 4.

Could be that salt didnt mix well...i would also retest wit another calcium test...just to make sure its not reading wrong....i wouldnt dose anything just yet intill you gotten a second test read...second purple up also adds alk so I would buy something that doesnt add alk as well

And heat from pumps would not hace cause enough heat to take calcium out
