Hi fellow reefers. I am not new to hubby but I am experiencing a cloudy water situation I have not had before. My system has been up and running for months now. Could it be a bacteria bloom? Corals are all fine.

If milky water then yes likely a bacteria bloom. They usually go away on their own once the food sources are depleted. Have you been dosing carbon?
