Any Macro algae gurus around today?

Is there a way to stop this from happening when adding a bunch of macros to a tank? Will it crash my tank? All parameters were perfect, I have 3 pieces of live rock, a sixline(also from my sump that will be leaving soon) and there was small piece of Red Gracilaria that I took out of my other tank's sump. Then yesterday, I added my CUC (snails,blue legs), Codium (Tall), Flame Algae,Halimeda,Red Titan, a lot of Gracilaria and now the water is cloudy. I did a 5gal water change and put carbon in the HOB filter, and it still looks the same, if not worse.
 
Well, I tried it, and it didn't change anything :(
I did a 10 gallon water change this morning and added another Aquaclear 50 with a sponge. Any other suggestions?
 
Sorry I didn't make my self clear that won't make the cloudiness go away only stop
it from happening agian. Remove any that has turned white, water changes and
maybe a micron filter will help cloudiness
