I'm seeing some crusty floaters on the bottom of my bottle of CSM+b.

I'm thinking that this is the iron? Has anybody seen this in their solution?
 
i used to get that too when i made a big batch. not sure what it is. now that i started mixing it up a weeks worth at a time i no longer see it. it has been suggested it is caused by minerals in the tap water and if you mix with distilled water you will not get it, but i have not tried.
 
I was thinking of your suggestion to mix a weeks worth. I did use distiled water for all of my ferts and still get this. I think you have the answer, small batches.
