milky water

[Nicole8ca]

As it turns out, I'm the "needy" girl.

I came home tonight and my water is milky. VERY milky. I added calcium last night (because it was low)- Could that be the cause? I'm not even sure where to start with this one.

Thanks ahead of time.

what size is the tank and what did you add?

[Nicole8ca]

77 galons. Added Elos combi-ca. I added it last night though. It wasn't cloudy last night or this morning for that matter.

The only other thing I did was take out the crushed coral on the weekend and I'm going BB instead. That5 stirred up quite a bit of muck. Is it possible the filter grabbed all that muck and now it's just spitting it back out again?

I tested nitrates and they are fine'ish (10). No ammonia, or nitrite. Tested to be on the safe side I guess.

The fish don't seem to be bothered or stressed, at least that part is good.

My tank turns milky when my red turban snails or bristleworms spawn.
