Hi everyone

Quick question -
I added API Root Tabs into my tank today to help some amazon swords that were sick. I have a 10 gallon tank. On the back of the box it says a typical ten-gallon tank needs about 6 tabs. Because mine is not heavily planted, I only added four. I left the tabs under the gravel by the roots of my plants and waited an hour or so. When I came back to my tank, I noticed that I could BARELY see in it!! It's a giant white cloud!!! :crazy:

What did I do!? My fish are fine - swimming happily and still perfectly active. But did I use the tablets wrong? Is this supposed to happen???
 
The tablets break down when yet and turn into sludge so if your gravel isn't the tiny gravel you might get some leak into the water column
