This morning I noticed another acro turning white at the bottom. I moved it to a spot with more flow hoping that will help. What are some of the other reasons for turning white at the bottom?

Should I be buying a different brand test kit to get a better Ca reading? The lfs sells Hagen (the one I bought), Salifert and Elos. I just recently bought an Elos phosphate kit and works really well.
