Does Decreased Phosphates equal clearer water?

yesterday is the lowest my phosphates have been in a long time. Maybe since I started the tank registering at .22 ppm (down from .66 ppm 2 months ago.)

I did another 30% water change, been doing 30% weekly, dosing 15 ml of Phosphate-E daily through a 5 micron filter sock. Scraping the glass and keeping the tank clean. And I've never had water clarity as clear as it was last night. I'm amazed. Even at .22 ppm phosphates, the clarity of the tank was crystal clear. I don't know how I did it or if there's any correlation to phosphates, but, I was amazed that this was my tank. It was night and day difference from a month ago. . .
 
Evening,

I cannot say for sure Po4 would contribute to water clouding. I do not think it does. I think you clarity is a byproduct of your increased maintenance. Keep it up
