While I regularly use Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium, Kent Turbo Calcium, or Reef Smart Calcium (a TB Aquatics product), this morning I decided to give Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium a try as I've run out of those brands that I normally use. Despite what the directions say, I am not comfortable just sprinkling any dry powder directly into my tank. So, I mixed one teaspoonful at a time into a 10 oz cup of RO/DI water and added it to my overflow. Before I even reached 1/2 of the recommended dose, I noticed that the water coming out of the return was starting to get cloudy. I stopped my dosing right there, as none of the other brands have ever clouded my tank, even when I dosed above the recommended levels on the label. Shortly afterward and even an hour later, the whole tank was still cloudy.
Is this typical when using Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium?
If so, how long before the tank usually clears up again?
