Hi

I do a 50% water change on my 125 liter tank once a week and a day afer my water goes cloudy white. I use seachem as directed so I know its not chlorine and have tested the water and everything is fine!

does any of these products cause clouding?

I get that too. It has to do with the dissolved solids/minerals in the tap water.

I was thinking of some sort of chemical reaction. Quarts with one of these additives, however, I am not a chemistry expert.

Quartz is basically glass, silica, it should not cause a chemical problem. The "white rocks" that cause a problem are limestone. Marble is another thing that is mostly calcium carbonate, another name for limestone. I have no idea what the 2 chemicals are besides the Prime. Prime is a dechlorinator that is well thought of.
