Could Polyp Lab One Possibly Precipitate as a Grey Powder?

[Larry101]

I was doing polyp lab one for a week, and on my last day of dosing I dosed two times in the day. I stopped dosing because from one day to the next my water turned really cloudy (I just assumed it was a bacterial bloom). Then just today a grey powder appeared all over covering my sand-bed and the only thing I could think this is was a precipitation of the polyp lab one. Is this possible?

Anybody?

Id on't think any of the ingredients will precipitate when dosed appropriately. I am not sure how much hydroxide is in it, but assuming it mixes in OK, it won't precipitate later.

If I were to forget to shake it (that’s what I did) could it have possibly precipitated then?

I do not see an easY chemical explanation For a precipitate. My guess is it relates to the bacterial growth, or is coincidence.

I have seen YouTube videos saying you should dose polyp lab one at night because of the cloudiness. By the day time it should be clear again. To me it sounds like a dose twice in one day is too much. Also the video said to dose in high flow area away from corals
