I only recently started adding kalk (pickling lime, to be exact) to my ATO water. Not a high concentration, just 2 Tsp for the whole 4 gal container to let me monitor the CA levels. Tonight I added more RO water to the container and of course it really stirred up the contents (has a maxijet running in it anyway, but I guess there was some settling on bottom).
Right as I did that, the ATO kicked on and ran for maybe 3-5 seconds.
Now (5 minutes later) I have MAJOR cloudy water. Cloudy enough that it worries me. I did a water change last night, and just made up more water tonight so it's a little too early to use.
I threw a HOB filter on with a carbon bag to try to remove some of whatever is, but is there anything else I should do? I can't believe that that little bit of ATO water could cloud things up that badly, but that's the only thing that happened while I was doing my maintenance.
Livestock is acting fine but my RBTA immediately shrunk and withdrew under the edge of his rock home.
Any reason to be concerned?
