Sign of too many ferts?

[sallyjano]

Today I'm going to calibrate my nitrates and phosphate test kits to get some correct readings but just curious if you think this white build up is a sign I have over fertilized??

This pic is from where water has run down the side of the tank.

You probably have hard tap water?

Yes! I do. So you think it's from that? It's just that I didn't used to get it like that. It's something new.

Looks like calcium buildup from hard water.

It's calcium you don't tend to dose that.

You can clean it off using lemon juice, vinegar, or a citric acid solution. I have similar stuff built up on my light cover
