I have been dosing esv 2 part for the past month.. I dose 7.5 ml every morning. My levels have been steady ever since i started. This morning when i dosed the alk, it clouded up like normal but then it turned into bubbles or dust. Then it disappeared like regular.. Is this okay? I then dosed my calcium and it was normal. It just disappeared in the water. I heard of over-dosing calcium causes a snow effect but it was the alk that dusted up
My levels are:
Ph 8.2
Salinity 1025
Calcium 450
Alk 8
Mag1380
i use salifert test kits

This is not a problem and most likely means you poured it either too quickly or in too low of a flow zone. The little white globules you see is magnesium temporarily coming out of solution, but as you saw, it is quickly reabsorbed. Calcium precipitating out looks more like snowflakes and they don't go away so fast.
