Vinegar water gets some goo!
Hi
When I mix vinegar to water and run a pump...after a while the stagnant water in the bucket gets a greenish grey layer on top... Anyone experienced this before? What's that layer...Is it a reaction of water, white vinegar from bjs...and some reef bacteria or fungi?? Thanks Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Probably algae or something similar. Why are you adding water to the vinegar? Are you using it for carbon dosing?

Bacteria, just like if you dose it into the water.
