Hey guys! I'm sure this question has been asked and discussed here. I have a 2 month old 60 gallon rock only aquarium. 2 clowns and a yellow coris wrasse. Everything with the tank is going great. I do water changes about once every 3 to 4 weeks. About 5 days ago, the water has gotten cloudy and continues to get cloudy. My filtration consists of marine pure gems, aquavitro purfiltrum, and chemi pure blue. All of which recommended by my LFS. Tank setup was smooth. But now, this! I just siphoned the tank and cleaned everything 2 days ago. Please help!

If you didn't stir anything up, its probably a bacterial bloom. Make sure the water is well oxygenated and add a cheap temporary all in one uv sterilizer to fix it.
 
I second the UV Sterlizer but more as a precautionary tale. Have you done your water tests as a baseline?

Nothing was stirred up. I will definitely look into one! Thank you so much!!!
