I haven't had any problems with my Amazonia II - it is softer than the original, thus more prone to breaking down with frequent, rough re-scapes. I have heard some people talk about clouding issues, but I've been really impressed with how quickly mine will clear up after I dig around planting - my 90g doesn't take more than 1hr to become clear again...
And the milky white tinge in the water is expected, as I'm sure you know, with the aquasoil products - humic acid leaching into the water. Everything you'd ever want to know about Amazonia II follows below:
Release of "Aqua Soil Amazonia II"
Aqua Soil Amazonia has been used by many planted aquarium hobbyists around the world, as base substrate material for growing aquatic plants. Aqua Soil Amazonia is produced from black soil with rich organic substances, helping the plant growth, and most aquatic plant species can grow in healthy condition with Amazonia. But, in the alkaline base water*, there are rare case reports that organic substance such as humic acid may seep into the water, and cause water coloring or cloudiness.
So this time Aqua Design Amano introduced "Aqua Soil-Amazonia II", a new Amazonia type substrate, produced with different black soil mixture ratio, preventing water coloring or cloudiness. As the base color or plant growing pattern is different from existing lines, we continuously market Aqua Soil Amazonia. Please select according to your needs and preference. But if your base water* is alkaline, we recommend to use Amazonia II.
*Base Water refers to all types of water used for the aquarium, including tap water, groundwater, or aquarium tank water.
