Why Wall Turn white with Sodium Bicarbonate Options

[white horse T1]

somehow whenever i add sodium bicarbonate to the pail i used to age overnight with anti chlorine/chlormine treament, my tank has traces of white coating the tank wall and even the sponge. but they got dissipated after a day in main tank

why? is it that i put too much or the sodium bicarbonate did not dissolve properly?

hi, i add anti-chlorine into the tank first before i turn the tap on with a 10 m long hose attached. so far so good. never have chlorine burn. After filling the tank, i on the filter pump and put salt.

It's good to know that applying anti-chlorine first is fine too. Thanks.

But how come you add salt too and what's the amount? Too little it's a waste, and too much too frequently is said to cause parasites to develope immunity.
