Does liquid Calcium make water milky/cloudy?

[boardsurfer]

I dosed my 55gal FOWLR tank with liquid calcium yesterday and my tank is very milky/cloudy today. All my paramaters are in check, and I use only RO/DI water. It is not cloudy from any algae or sediment, rather a milky look.

Does dosing Calcium usually do this?

TIA...

dosing too much, or having too low an alkalinity can cause the calcium to precipitate and cloud the water.
I assume you tested both alkalinity and calcium levels before deciding to dose. Can you post those values?
