When I stur in ly water tank, I notice some white flake like things comming up. It lays at the bottom but when I mix the water, it spreads out and some settles on the surface afterwards. I tried to take a photo, but it’s hard to see on them. Has anybody had this before?

Could be precipitating certain things in there.. if you add things in the wrong order it happens.. I noticed when I used silica it’s finicky about temp and ph of water you add it to. Always put silica first, then cal mag, then micro, then everything else.. if it’s a system like GHs flora trio

I was coming onto the exact same thing that hempkid is saying. I would start there and get your water tested

Probably (not 100% sure) could be hard water. I have similar from excessive amounts of calcium in water. My PPM straight out of tap is 250.
