Hi guys I dosed reef roids around 2 days ago and ever since my tank has been cloudy. I tested my ammonia and it read .50 I am going to the store tomorrow to get some salt water to do a water change. I did a 4 gallon change today because its all I had (my tank is 32g). Any advice on how to handle this and is there any products I should get? I cant seem to get good picture, but I all can say is the water is cloudy I can see a little bit.

Aerate the water as best as possible, but a cheap UV sterilizer or something like a green killing machine from Petco or PetSmart, and do a big water change. You can dose cycling bacteria or add an ammonia remover if you are worried about the ammonia level assuming it's not from testing error.

PS I don't think it has to do with the reef roids. I think something died.
