Yesterday I did a water change of 5 gallons on my 75 I have an eheim ultra g 90 canister filter I added. Some red sea nitrate and phosphate reducer also with a cap full of reef fusion 1 which raises calcium since my lfs store said my levels were low. After my water change my water cleared up after about an hour or less and was clear the rest of the night. I dont have any inhabitants that have died or tgat I think can cloud my whole system I have two btas, snowflake clown, two damsels, and flame hawk 3 astria snails 1 nitrate snail and two coral frags my tank has been running now for about 7 mos and never seen it like this.
Cloudy waters???

First of all, a 5g change on a 75 is not much at all, unless your doing that amount weekly. . What is your specific gravity (SG)?
I'm interested in the reason for low calcium, if indeed it is low. Can you please supply us with more info on your exact water parameters?
Precipitation would cause cloudiness. This will/can happen if you added the Fusion to quickly in low flow.

I've since done a 80% water change it was the nitrate and phosphate reducer..... I added too much and killed most of my stock besides the crabs an snails and one anemone survived hes trying to pull back through he just ate a small portion yesterday and after that just reattached himself I hope he gets his color back. My parameters are salinity 1.024 ph 8.0 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrates 0
