    here is an article...go towards the bottom and it explains the snowstorm. Most of the time it does not cause a crash or harm in tanks! So just turn off lights and wait!

    Good luck

    Edit: link did not work...here it is again

    I think you should let things settle and re-stabilize too. I also use the BRS products, they are great and very affordable. I use the Calcium chloride, Mg sulfate/chloride and the soda ash. You probably just added too much of something. What exactly did you do? Did you add Ca and Alk. supplements to the lime water?

    more then likely will be just fine. Might take 1 to 4 days to settle down but then it should be fine.

    From what I understand..the snow storm is actually "fixing" itself.
