If I'm not mistaken you're suppose to add it in the Sump, in a high flow area, not direct in the display!

I would check the magnesium levels too or just dose some, magnesium will stop the faking. The calcium is carbonate are stopped from crystallizing by magnesium as it makes contact with the CO2 in the tank.
