Hi everyone !
I have a 25 gallon reservoir I use to prepare my nutrient mix . Sometimes ,I go with too much PH down so I corret . When I drop the PH up it turns cloudy ... Not the whole solution ,only the PH up . What's happening here ?
Thanks !

I could be WAY off base, but the local pH swing may be causing nutrients to precipitate out of solution. What happens when you mix the solution, does the cloudiness go away?

I think you're fine then, just keep and eye out for fluctuating pH levels, in my experience if you need to adjust levels through up/down usage too much (especially using both solutions) the pH tends to wander. Good luck

Cloudiness when adjusting pH means extreme localized pH shift causing nutrients to precipitate out of your solution. It's not a good thing. To avoid this dilute your pH with water or some of your nutrient solution before you dump it into your res.
