I woke up yesterday and noticed that my tank was looking pretty cloudy. I tested everything and nothing seemed out of the norm.

My parameters are
CA: 370
Alk: 7.5
Mg: 1200
sg: 1.025-26
ph: 8.44
temp: 79.8-80.2

All fish and corals look fine. I am going to run a bag of carbon starting tomorrow to try to clean it up a bit and do a water change. Any clue what it could be though. It is a white milky color. Been that way for about 36hrs now.

Ammonia is at 0
Hadn't been dosing 2 part like normal work/life balance has been off

I cleaned the skimmer and it was pretty cleared up today. Who knows what it was.

Got snails or macro algae that could have spawned?

some kinda bacterial bloom, I'd guess. I've had that happen-- then my skimmer kicked in and cleared out much of it making a wierd gunk... the strangest thing about it for me was that afterwards my skimmer collection cup gained a permanent haze. could be unrelated, but it was odd.
