I would start here and recommend EI dosing. Equilibrium does give your water a slight haze but that shouldn't last long. What kind of filtration do you have running on your tank? How are you checking your co2 levels? Do you have a drop checker? 1.5bps really isn't allot for a tank that size. esp using a defuser like that. Many Many more questions but I am at work. I'm sure others will have some input too.
