Came home from work and noticed that the tank was cloudy....some of the corraline algae has turned white as well....the fish appear to be fine....2 percula clowns, 1 flame angel.....its a 55 gal, L/R, fish only, wet dry system....I did a test of my paramaters and it all seems fine....I just did a water change the day before (20%)....
ph- 8.2
amm- 0
nitrite-0
nitrate- 5
temp- 80
sal- 1.22
Any thoughts....Thanks

Do you administer any additives, such as a PH buffer, calcium, stronium? Is the cloudy tank any particular color or just misty white?

I've got a powerhead (Aquaclear model 50) that has this attachable floss filters. They keep my water crystal clear. When the water gets cloudy (as you're descibing) I just clean or change the filter out.
Though I can't explain the cloudy water.

Could be a bacterial bloom. How often do you feed your fish? You said it was FO, do you have any LR?

About $25 for a PH (If you already have an Aquaclear PH it should work).
About $27 for a filter canister and a 12 pack of filter replacements.
Where to buy? SWF don't sell them. You'd have to search. Can't post links. "Powerhead Quick Filter" and "Aquaclear" may help you.
