    this has been going on even before i got my LR so its not that but about ever hour i have to brush down the tank with my mag-float because thin white stuff keeps gathering in certain places of the tank. anyone know what this is?

    At first i thought it was just salt creep but its inside the tank.

    Pics would help a lot. Are you doing water changes? If so what type of chlorine remover are you using?
    Is the white stuff like spots or a film?

    Hmm by chance the salt you used instead of bein real soft and flowing like new sugar.. Was it like a rock and hafta break it apart..?? I know i have used salt that was like that and when added to tank there was some white undisolved stuff that would settle every where...

    Just a idea...



    Good Luck....
