Magnesium dose clouded my tank?

I dosed magnesium in my tank and pretty quickly clouded my whole tank. About 20min after dosing calc.

This sounds like a precipitation incident.

What are the levels of Alk,Ca, & Mg now?

It’s starting to clear up and I was gonna wait before I checked. It’s definitely precipitation. I just didn’t think it would cloud the entire tank.

Its clearing up after a few hours. About to test

What exactly did you add?

Normal magnesium supplements should not cloud the water.
