So long story short. I dose soda ash to keep my ph up to an acceptable level and I run a canister filter, so I do not have the option to run the dosing line into a sump. No matter where I put my dosing line in my tank the soda ash turns into snow and ends up covering my rocks. I have got to the point where I just put the lines underwater directly in front of the outlet from my canister filter and just clean the tips occasionally. Does anybody have a way around this? To clarify also... I am talking about it turning into snow not the white poof lol.
Should I just switch to sodium bicarbonate and put my co2 scrubber back online to help correct my ph issue? I quit using it because it jacked my ph up to 8.4 and I though it was my precipitation issue.
Parameters
ph 8.0-8.2
alk 10-10.7( would probably be more stable without the snow lol)
calcium 430-450
mag 1450-1500
