Fertilizer will help promote a plankton bloom, however, you need light and if light penetration is retarded by suspended solids you will not get a bloom. Gypsum and aluminum sulfate are cheap ways to get rid of turbidity, but I would recommend the gypsum first, for alum will decrease your alkalinity.
