Netmax, I think you are right, you have to give the new substrate time to
get covered in biofilm, this will bind things a bit. The OP must just be

I was patient. The water was clear for 2+ months before it got
cloudy. It sat cloudy for 9 months. I'm trying the whole no light,
no food, no filtration/water movement now to see if that makes a
difference.
