It is probably a reaction between the acid in the PH down, and the baking soda.
Try mixing a small amount of your PH down, and baking soda on a plate and see what happens.

Try diluting the ph stuff in water before adding to your buckets, add each in separate, diluted, the reaction might be less or gone? That’s all I got, I can’t just dump it in my res...

Nevermind, missed the grade 7 volcano thing..
