So when I got home this morning I went ahead and added a little Phosphorus to the tank. I am running a 55g, 216W T5 HO and pressurized CO2.
Well when I woke up this afternoon my tank was cloudy so I decided to take a sample into work and run an analysis on it. Come to find out my P level is something like 57.2ppm. As soon as I get off work I will be doing back to back water changes.
I was also thinking I need to add a Phos-guard.
Should I add the phos-guard or will the back to back water changes be enough? I will be testing again tomorrow night.
Thanks
 
I am not sure what P has to do with being cloudy. I also do not trust most P kits. If you think a level is to high then do a water change, no need for chemicals or fancy filter media. Change 50-60% of the water, that will reduce levels and help with the cloudiness.
