Hello all, Ive just recently noticed that I have some of this chalkey
residue inside my filter box (about horizontal to where the water line is
located). Any imput as to what this is? Im assuming that it isent anything
too drastic as I remember reading a somewhat similar post previously and the
responses (although escaping me now of coarse) were made to sound that it
has something to do with ph levels? Anyway any imput would be appreciated.

Carbonate deposits. Harmless and can be removed with vinegar. Rinse well
afterwoods.
