Anybody gonna help me out on here?
 
Turn skimmer back on. The bottle states what to do if the water goes to cloudy. You can also add an Airstone.

No skimmer sadly but i have power head turned toward the top of the water and filter running for the cascade how long should this last how long before my tanks balance will get back think I’m just gonna stick to strict water changes for algae control

Waste away is a great product for occasional cleaning but not for regular maintenance. I'm not sure how long it will last as I have dosed 3-4x the amount during battling dinos and never experienced cloudy water. I would get some air stones in there to increase oxygen.

Do you have an air pump at least? You can put the air line into the back of the power head it will create micro bubbles.

Bacterial blooms drain oxygen.. it's not possible for one to tell you how depleted that level will be. Any fish? Are they breathing normally? I'd watch more for fish decline than corals.
