The last 2 post are dead on, Nature2 is not a strong enough sanitizer to stand alone. Just use a chlorine based shock to oxydize and you'll see much better results.

As far as clarifier........Not a big fan, It treats symptoms not causes. If your water is cloudy you should 1.) make sure water is balanced(ph, total alk.,etc.) 2.)shock (COVER OFF!)  90% of the time shocking will fix your ills

good luck

Now I am a little confused, I do use the n2 and I use a shock with it, now I do not know what is in the shock I think it is either mps or dichlor nun the less I am sure it must have something in it. in terms of the balance I did check this and all chems were in proper order so I am still leaning toward the Clarifier.  If this doesn't work then I guess I will just drain and refill.

A lot of people have success with N2, I didn't.  N2 does say that IF your water gets cloudy, use dichlor instead of MPS.

I used the N2 the first time on this water change and didn't have any luck with a lowered chlorine level.  I was running at 3 PPM for 3 weeks without any problems and then decided to lower it to 1.5 PPM. 2 days later without use, I opened up the cover to find cloudy water.

As other's have said, clarifier treats the symptoms and it's not a cure. As they said, shock with chlorine or chlorine/MPS product and see if it clears up; I personally used clarifier just to speed up the process clearing the tub.
