    Protein skimmer: Coral Vue Diablo DCS Series In-Sump Skimmers (DCS250)
    Wavemaker: (2) Jebao WP-40 Wavemaker w/ Controller

    Well besides the cloudiness that looks good.

    If it's bacterial from die off you should see a detectable ammonia I would think unless you missed the spike.

    It seems to be clear early in the day and cloudy in the evening. I never did test ammonia.

    I haven't done a water change yet. Had planned on doing on this wknd.
