It is probably a reaction between the acid in the PH down, and the baking soda.
Try mixing a small amount of your PH down, and baking soda on a plate and see what happens.

How many threads are you going to start?

No way, go to the store and get some red food coloring, that's the hot setup.

Try diluting the ph stuff in water before adding to your buckets, add each in separate, diluted, the reaction might be less or gone? That’s all I got, I can’t just dump it in my res...

Nevermind, missed the grade 7 volcano thing..

You do realize that you are responding to a 10 year old post from a member that has been gone for over 8?
