thats weird...are you sure its not urine? What temps are you keeping it at...what kind of UV are you using...what brand/type of supplement is it?

The white stuff isn't calcium . It's Uric acid and it shouldn't be hard . If it is comming out hard something isn't right with either it's diet /humidity / or the amount of water it is drinking.
