I did a 25% wc this past Sunday and have had cloudy water since..parameters are all fine and so I am stumped on how to proceed..I increased nero3 flow and changed carbon to CheniPure Blue yesterday and still no change today..I have 1 fish 4 corals and CUC in a WB MP25..what else can I do to clear water up? TIA

ps..also changed the filter floss yesterday.
 
Need more details.

1. How long as this tank been up and running?
2. You said parameters are fine. What does that mean exactly? Please provide actual readings of the tests you did. Also what test kit(s)?
3. Are you using RO/DI for source water?
4. What is your filtration?

As above and how often do you change your floss.

I would also add the carbon back, chemipure blue does have carbon in it I believe. As long as you rinse the carbon before using it.

Could be a bacterial bloom or an algae bloom, your water could be the cause if it's not TDS free, hard to say as there are a few different causes, as said above more info would help, not just saying your parameters are fine, deatails on setup etc as much as possible would help pin this down.
