Cloudy water

[bingoman88]

I am fairly new ( 7 months) at the hobby i have a Fluval 13.5 that i have totally upgraded - new light AI 16 , new pump ( Eheim 1000) I added an extra flo motor but removed it ( too much flow)
I have 5 or 6 frags that seem to be doing well ( only 4 weeks with them) I do weekly 30-% 50% water changes, check ammonia, ph , nitrate and nitrite weekly. I only feed the two clowns 1 time a day ( dry food) I have 3 snails. I have some algae on the rocks that has me bothered. I have been using Vibrant for a little over a week - i have fed with a syringe a small amount of reef roids directly on the frags. I had a clear tank and all of a sudden cloudy city. These forums have really helped me i hope someone might have a suggestion. Thanks

I would say less % of water change every week. 30% to 50% seems like a lot
