This question would be more relevant over in the Reef Forum.

Which one did you use? Sea Chem has a few different Ca supplements. I added a Ca and Alk buffer once at the same time, and it turned my tank to MILK!!! (that was when I first started out) You didn't make the same mistake I did, did you?

Hmm, I used that for about a year, never had an Issue with it. What other additives are you using?

Sometimes additives from competing manufacturers don't "get along".

Interesting. I had the same thing happen a couple of days ago with the same product. My water stayed cloudy for only a few hours though and was completely clear the next morning. No water change.
