What color cloudiness do you have?

If it's brown it's likely from the phosar being pulverized or that it hasn't been rinsed thoroughally enough.

I've used phosar for months and haven't had problems with it but I use it in a reactor. I agree that if you use it in a fine mesh bag it should be just fine.

If the cloudiness is white it may be a precipitation event or a bacteial bloom. What's your alk and ca level? Do you use an ozonizer or UV sterilizer (if so, it likely wouldn't be a bacterial bloom)?
