Guys HELP

[Bo Green]

So I woke up this morning and my display tank was perfectly normal clear and happy. But soon after my whole system( I have a side by side 20 long thats plumbed to my 25 gal cube) turned a awful opaque dark green. Im 95% sure the reason for this was my dying caulerpa in my fuge. The algae started to get spotty and clear on about half amount in the fuge part of my 20L (the other side is a frag tank) Luckily I kinda caught this as it was happening and was able to turn off the pumps so the tanks didn't mix any more. My main display is cloudy and all my corals still seem to be happy, but the 20L is so green and cloudy I cant see through it. Ive done a 2gal waterchange of the 20L because thats all I had mixed. And now I'm mixing more water. I don't know what to do Im running a hob filter on the fuge so I put some filterfloss in there and a 2nd bag of carbon. Im just really fearful for my tank.

If you have lots of corals they will eat it. It is a small tank so the water change was good. If you have a skimmer it will remove it pretty quick. Otherwise it should clear up in a few hours.

Ive had caulerpa turn clear and melt. Never had the water turn green! Are u sure its the caulerpa??

If you want to get a better response I would open a different thread with an improved title. Not trying to be rude, but 'Guys HELP' isn't going to get the same attention as a more descriptive title with pictures

Also, I would match up the salinity and do a massive water change. Make sure SG, and temp are the same. Once complete test ALL parameters and make adjustments to get back to normal. I would also clean my HOB filter and all filter media BEFORE the water change. Just my two cents!

Thanks guys, sorry about the title I just was in a panic haha, I have water mixing now and once I get home from work I'll do another water change/ swap out carbon. My coworker( I work at a fishstore) says it's probably a Bactria bloom from the dying algae or it reproduced asexualy, I'm hoping there is some improvements when I get home
