I had a house party and I'm not sure anyone would mess with my tank but I'm not sure they wouldn't either...
Anyways I woke up the morning after and my tank was a little cloudy so I just left it and tuned my skimmer to skim more.
I also added 3 corals about 4 days ago and did a water change 3 or so days ago.

Should I just leave it and see if it goes away or should I do I big water change

If you suspect anyone spilled or dumped anything in the tank then water changes and carbon can help.

I’m not sure since you aren’t positive that anything harmful was even added to the tank. It could just be a small bacterial bloom from recent water changes and your new coral.

I wouldn’t be to worried though your corals look fine and the inverts look good

Okay thanks guys I'll probably just leave it I tested for ammonia yesterday after I noticed it and it was at 0 I also changed the filter floss and put new carbon in hopefully it clears up on its own and I'll just do another routine water change next week if it's still there
