I don't remember my water getting cloudy when I used it. I just followed directions, and used about half the dosage. Stuff works great, but it was pretty rough on the pods.

Could the cloudy water be coming from the bio pellets not having the skimmer?

I was/am considering this to get my cyano under control but i'm worried about my mandarin and his food source of copepods... Any advise is much appreciated
