I shoot using a dslr as well. What I do is use a white card under the lighting and then set a custom white balance.

Seeing the bucket of Achilles reminded me of a joke I heard once.

If I may add a suggestion? Skip the Rowaphos and reactor and just add Foz Down into the ATO reservoir. You will find the Rowaphos and reactor is a more expensive and time consuming...

Hi,



It sounds more like a bacterial bloom than a buffer problem since you said the skimmer is going crazy and there's white slime on the glass.
