Set up a 20 gallon QT last Sunday on the 25th. Aquaclear 20 with sponge, biomax and carbon, sponge filter, and 3lbs of live rock. Used 5 gallons of tank water to seed some bacteria. Added a small maroon clown same day. Plastic wrap lid to stave off evaporation.
Couple days ago, the water went from crystal clear to a milky sort of cloudiness. As I understand it, this can be from a bacteria bloom, but also other potential causes. Clown is still happy as can be, but I'm wondering if this is a signal for a potential problem?
Ammonia 0

Salinity is a little low, lfs was running hypo, and I've been slowly raising it.
