I will be maintaining his tank for 9 weeks this summer so I guess we'll see if I can sort things out a little for him.

did you find out if he is dosing all at once.. if so I am willing to bet this is the problem. he needs to spread his dosing out though the day. some in the am, some at lunch, some after work some befor he goes to bed.

my guess is that when he doeses he creats a temporary high concentrating in the sump which will percipitate easily then as it is mixed it is dropped back down to a normal level.

I had the same problem befor I put my Ca reactor online. actualy that was the reason I went to a Ca reactor and a Kalk reactor.
