Floss is used to polish water[a fine material]. Clearing up cloudy water it can do if it is small particals you need to get out. A few thing we need to know 1st is water parameters,amm,trites trates,..What size tank, fish and what filtration?Lighting? These will help better diagnose the problem.

pHOS IS A BIT HIGH I BELIEVE AND THAT FEED S ALGAE [sry caps]

A phos blocker might help along with water changes and a good lighting setup
