Changed my normal amount of water (5 gal) Friday on my RSR170 (43 gallon). Water was slightly cloudy before. It seemed to get worse and Sunday changed another 6 gallons. Today (Tuesday) this is what I got.

To me that’s worse then last week or on Sunday. Tank is transfer from a biocube 32 in November that had been running for 9 mos. the only thing that comes to mind is last week I fed a small amount (less than 1/4 teaspoon) of reef roids last Monday and after my Friday water change I fed another 1/4 teaspoon reef roids. Usually only feed RR once a week I also feed a very small amount of reef frenzy nano to my fish usually every night and Have been the whole nine months and water has never been cloudy. Does this look like an alge bloom? Any ideas on how to get it clear again? It usually looks like the fish and corals are floating on air it’s so clear.
