I have an autistic son who must have been watching me feed in the past and taken it upon himself this morning to give it a go when I wasn't looking today. He dumped about a 4 month supply of vegetarian pellets into the tank. (Ocean Nutrition - Formula TWO Marine Pellet)
I have a 55 gallon reef tank that is about a year old with a single yellow tang and two clowns as well as a small variety of coral.
I immediately did a 10g W/C and tried to suck up all the pellets that were gathered in piles. Unfortunately with the powerheads and the Live Rock, I'm sure I didn't get it all. I probably got at least 80% of it though as it gathered in a few common places.
It's been about 6 hours and the water is starting to get cloudy. I tested the ammonia and it came out at 1.0ppm.
My question is, Is there anything I can do?
Hourly water changes? I have a 5 gallon bucket of salt, so I could handle that I guess. I unfortunately have not tested ammonia in so long that I can't tell you what it was prior.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can tell my coral are even acting wierd. I have some green star polyps that tagged along with some LR and they are all pulled in and hiding, never actually seen that.
My Yellow tang who is usually timid but always adventurous is also hiding in the back corner.
