Cloudy Water

[blkhawk10]

So I've had cloudy water on and off for about 2 weeks now and it's starting to kill off some of my sps's. I've already done a water change which helped out a bit and then randomly boom, cloudy water again. I've read that there are two ways to get cloudy water from particles suspended in the water which should clear up when they settle and from an algae bloom. I have no idea what's going on but I need a solution soon cause if my sps die I'm gonna freak out!!!:mad2: I plan on doing another water change in a couple days, anyone have any other ideas of what I could do?

Check for amonia everything else is workable, tell us your parameters

Check ammonia first but check everything else too. Have you had a big invert or fish go missing lately?

ammonia - 0
pH - 8.2
nitrates - 0
nitrites - 0
calcium - 480
KH - 11

All the parameters have held steady at these levels for a while now. No losses of fish or anything like that, I'm confused. Could it be from the alkalinity I put in? Maybe it's not mixing all the way?

Is it white cloudy or brown cloudy?
