STOP that crusty precip from taking over your pumps/heaters! | ReefFAQs

Hey hey!

Ryan is knocking these short and to the point ReefFAQs out! We've got three of them today and this one is all about getting your 2 part dosing to stop precipitating on your heaters, pumps and other parts of your tank.

I feel like this may have happened in my tank recently. All of my pumps stopped working within a week of each other and were heavily calcified. I think I will turn off the doser and make sure that I am adding the right amount back to the tank.

Hi!

You'll need to take the pumps apart and let them soak in acid (vinegar or citric acid). Then give everything a good brush down. This worked great for me.
