Do you use calcium powder on the crickets?

I had a small bit of cloudiness from earthworms since I was too lazy to let them purge. With crickets, I noticed no issues at all.

I didn't but perhaps the pet shop did, the strange thing is I watched it happen and crystal clear water turned cloudy within minutes.

Like an amount of milk was poured in.

I'm sure it was calcium. If I remember correctly calcium will cloudy up water no?
