Not that the water shows, but I've not tested the pH which should be the only thing affected as PoP is insoluble in water. Even if it does break down PoP is CaSO4--Calcium Sulfate. It is actually gypsum that has been heated above 200 F and made anhydrous. When water is mixed with it, it gives off heat and begins to harden.

A frag plug that I would like to have a few of, I saw these on a web site some where that I can't seem to find again :( I think it was a 3 inch plug. These would be great to mount Chalice corals on, if anyone see's the online, give me a shout.
