Jahmic posted an article on the PH thread and the article mentions this
"The importance for aquarists is that if the magnesium concentration is too low, it may not adequately play this role. In that situation, pumps and heaters (and any warm object) may get coated with precipitating calcium carbonate. Further, that precipitation removes calcium and alkalinity from the aquarium, making it harder to maintain adequately high levels of these two parameters."
Is that why my heater has all this stuff on it, cause quite frankly , as sad as it is, I dont understand what this article means lol
