Could be a massive bacterial bloom? Sand getting sturred up? Can you do a 100% water change from your 125?

Alk - 9.6 dKh
Ammonia - 0.0
Sand is less than 1/2" deep in the front of the tank only. Hadn't stirred it up at.
Still testing.

Good so far,.. could the clowns have sturred it? Or the flow? Have you added anthing to the tank recently? How milk white is it?

Calcium 330 - a bit low, but there is nothing in there that really needs it.
Clowns stay near the top as far as I have seen.
I also have 1 ricordia in there. I have accounted for all but one turbo snail. It is cloudy enough that even with the lights on, I can barely see the back of the tank. About 12". |

Flow is pretty low. I have considered adding another powerhead beacuse of it. Nothing new in the tank.

Is the water change an option? I'm betting Bacterial bloom at this point.

Tonight was water c hange night anyway. I just want to know what the cause is. Fish do not appear to be in distress, so I am testing first.

Good deal that the fish are alright,.. Bacterial blooms IME don't effect fish or coral,.. or at least not visably.

Did you use LR from your established tank?
Should you move everybody back to the main tank?
