Alk & Ca overdose

[MOBlueDevil]

My Alk & calcium dosing pump malfunctioned last night - dumped 3-4 gallons of each (Alk is baked baking soda in RO water). Tank is 400gallon total volume. Did 40gallon water change this morning, making new water - anticipate being able to do roughly 40 gallon water change a day until things settle down. Question is about the precipitate that is forming - tank was milky white (still is very cloudy) but I'm getting the expected Calcium Carb precipitate covering everything. Is there anything I should do about that or best to just leave it be?

Thanks,
Bryan
(I posed the same question on the chemistry forum)

I think I'm going back to Kalwasser - Mrs Wages. Seems safer

It will dissipate on its own, water changes will help with that obviously. I have seen this happen once before and most of the inverts and corals were fine.

Same, run some filter socks. Had this happen before nothing died. Just lots of "dust" to clean up after once it settles.

But lets get to the bottom of what happened. Equipment failure or Human failure?
What happened and whats the model of the dosing pump?

Lost a Foxface Rabbitfish, so far all the coral (mostly softies), anemones (BTAs) and other fish look fine. Was equipment failure - Jaboe 4 head dosing pump - all 4 got stuck on overnight (only 2 had programs set, 1 for calcium one for alk). I've had that pump for over a year. Should have had a controller with a pH probe in case that happened - I bought the Cerebra Vertex when it came out, still waiting for an actual working unit (side note - I don't think that will ever happen, even their forum went down a few months ago)
