white crystals in ESV magesium holding canister

I dose ESV Alk, Calcium and Magnesium.

Noticed this white crystal-like precipitate in the holding container…never saw this before and was wondering if this is ok for it got contaminated and caused this reaction. Not sure if I should leave it or clean this out.

any input?

It could be a bit of some contaminant or some precipitation. I'd rinse it with some water, to see what happens, but I wouldn't worry, in any case. If it dissolve, my first guess would be that it's a bit of the magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate, or a mix.
