Ok, so not an ammonia bloom. You see alot of green in the water perhaps? Possibly alge bloom then? I see a bunch of green on the glass, you do something different to the tank? Drop something in there?

current photo from tonite!!! Still a slight cloud.. THANK YOU guys!! Bought a UV sterilizer.. Should have bought that bad boy instead of the point of sale skimmer that refuses to work.. I can SEE the back of my tank again..only 2 unfortunate casualties. A engineer goby and an oriental gurnard. :(. Now to get the live rock blooming again and my xenias working.... Any editional help is ALWAYS appreciated!!!

If the UV worked then it was an algae bloom :)

I'm a firm believer of blacking out a tank for 3 days. Fish and corals will live through it. Then do your 20 water change. Some say its crazy...but it's a drastic measure to help kinda zero out the odometer or get you over the big hump. Then maintain what your doing....but it's just my opinion....
