hi all, my tank suddenly got quite cloudy overnight my water parameters are the following, all done with salifert kits.

temp 80
sg 1.025
ph 8.1
alk 8.45
cal 460
mag 1400
nitrate 5ppm
p04 0

I went ahead and changed my carbon. first time running a reactor and it's been about 3 weeks so I think it's due up, does it normally cloud up suddenly when it needs to be changed?

my cal seems slightly high but I don't think it's a concern is it?

my corals and anemones are open and happy, my clown actually just started hosting in my two RTBA's tonight!

here you can see how cloudy it is looking down the tank.

I do 10% water changes weekly, I use reef crystals mix and tomorrow is my normal day but I was thinking of just knocking it out tonight, I"m sure it wouldn't hurt.
