My water in my reef is turning a cloudy green does anyone know why

Can't even see threw it

I had this happen in a FW tank and it was an algae bloom I think. I treated it with an algae removing chemical but it was not to be used with invertebrates sadly :/

 

[Petrichor]

If it is an algae bloom you'll want to cut back on feeding and light depending what's in your tank, and a water change probably won't hurt.

Make sure to use ro/di water and make sure there isn't excessive nutrients in the water from excess feeding, make a water change of 25% and use the lights as little as you can and keep doing smaller changes until it is fixed. Also make sure that your filters are up to date

I have a protein skimmer and a hob filter only 1 clown 3 chromies in a 75 gallon and a condy

I gota get one of those rodi units

A uv sterilizer would help too, but it kills anything that floats threw it

 

[Twoteccs]

I cleared it up turned off the lights and covered the tank for two day it's gone

I stopped using UV sterilizer was nuking all my pods

 

[Race37]

Ya they will do that, I used to turn it on for 1-2 hours a week just to "polish" the water
