PLZ HLP Cloudy Water

[jerehmy]

hi reefers

I just cleaned out my aqua clear filter today and added some carbon, also added some marine ph 8.3 1tsp and some coral vite 1tsp and some coral vital 1tsp and 10ml of Alk buffer b-ionic, (all this is routune for every monday except the carbon ) now the water has been getting cloudy and All the levels are good

alk 9dkh
ph 8.3
ammonia 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
cal 420
po4 .01

and ideas on why the water is cloudy? Can the new carbon do this? It was Matrix Carbon by Seachem I addded 250ml in a media bag :mad2:

P.S. the tankis 40g with a Remora skimmer and 45lbs good LR

Bumping your post takes you off the unanswered list.

What is the marine pH product's exact name and manufacturer? I would suggest avoid this type of product, since they can cause various problems.

I've used Matrix carbon without problems, so I think the product is fine in general. Is the water white or grayish, or greenish?

I would agree mabe to much buffer/ alk at one time. I would stick with one or the other.
