Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! It is possible that your tank is going through an algae bloom.

Welcome! Have you been adding anything? Could be a bacteria bloom?

Welcome to R2R,

plus one for algae bloom, I had the same issue at the 3 month mark, got a UV and literally gone in 24 hours.

Welcome. My tank has been a bit cloudy too so I'll hang out and see what people say.

Welcome! I agree with the bacterial bloom, especially since you have ammonia present.

Been using MicroBacter7 from the start and still, waste away 3times (to lower nitrate).. I think green alge got out with the waste away..

Amonia is 0.25 from the start and it doesnt move.. I am using MicroBacter7 from the start..

Thank you all

So if it is alge or bacteria boom.. How do i fix it? Or just leave it and it will go away?
