Does ADA green gain cause cloudy water?

[Shadow]

I was trying out ADA green gain. Actually, I just want to try out growth hormone (Cytokinins) which is in ADA green gain. So I dose my tank based on the recommended dosage 1 drop per 10 liters. To my surprise, the water become cloudy the next day. It is 6 months old tank, I do not expect bacteria bloom at this time. Assuming that what it is.

Does anyone experience this before?

Did you use anti chlorine ? Bacteria boom is confirmed. But where is the source.. hmm..

[Shadow]

yup where is the source

I always use anti chlorine, also I didn't do anything before dosing green gain. Mystery

one week after I start this thread, daily 20%-30% water change does not help, the water still cloudy.

Today I start black out reason is I do not 100% sure whether it is bacteria bloom or the beginning of green water. 3 days black out should clean it from green water. If not, time for extreme measure, UV sterilizer

Need to add that I try same ADA green gain at other tank and it is OK. Thus not the green gain problem.

I have use green gain without any cloudy water issue.
Have you solve the cloudy water problem ?

yes 3 days black out, and the side effect is all the green spot algae on the rock also gone.

I also try at other thank without problem.
