Refractors are great for moon and planets. However, Mars is in a "bad spot". It's low in the horizon and therefore susceptible to turbulance and low-lining heat from the ground. You're probably all right, just had a bad seeing night (planetary wise anyway). Your eyepiece are Ok power wise. (Do you use a barlow lens?) Also Mars usually relies on a few colored filters to enhance detail. This goes for other planets too, but Mars is somewhat unique.
