Not really sure as to why, but I would put the macros back in. They will help clean up the water.
The power head pointing at the surface was a good move. I tend to over react when I see a small problem and have learned to change a little at a time and sit back and let things work themselves out.
Often you do need to act and change things, but sometimes a small change and some patience is the key to success.
I would keep the power head aimed at the surface and change out any filter pads or socks and change the media(carbon or whatever you may be running). Also put back in the macros if you can.
