Default cloudy water

Well after 3 months of patience and diligent maintenance, I am finally back in the sps world!!!! Hello beauty, goodbye $. After doing a bit of research on vodka dosing, I thought I'd give it a try. I was putting 2 ml a day in my water column, and noticed my water got a little cloudy. Just wondering if the 2 changes could be somewhat related. opinions. I also use 1ml of mb7 a day. Thanx

Bacterial bloom, let it run its course, continue dosing and keep up with your water changes and it'll go away

I had the same thing happen in my tank

Thanx spit.fire. That makes sense cause my sand has been slightly affected as well. Does 2 ml of vodka daily sound about right for approx 100g total water? Man, I forgot how much better my reef looks with sps!

I started out with 0.1 ml/25g per day for the first week then bumped it up to 0.2ml/25g per day after that
