Cloudy water? Help!

[MamaDeLo]

Hi everyone.
I have a 29gal tank. An aqua clear 70 filter, 1 power head and a heater. Inside my tank is live sand, about 15-20lbs of liverock, a 6line wrasse and a torch coral. Yesterday I added live rock with a TON of zoas on it and a lawn mower Benny. All was fine all day, Benny was roaming and zoas had all come back out. This morning I woke up and my tank is cloudy...ideas?

Run some carbon. That should clear things up.

New carbon insert last week...

Probably a bacteria bloom. It should go away on its own. A UV filter will clear it up overnight.

What would cause a bacteria bloom?

 

[ReeferBob]

You added new live rock, coral and fish, something made the bacteria happy.

Thank you for help, cloudiness has dramatically reduced since yesterday, clearing up nicely

bacteria blooms suck. I had a few in my tank for the first month or two it was up and running..
