Help!!!!!

Looks like your Caulerpa went sexual. If you are using caulerpa make sure to light 24/7. Do a good water change and add carbon if you have it. Keep a close eye on the skimmer and dump frequently. Caulerpa contains a toxin called caulerpin that can be toxic to fish.

Change water like GAV said, throw those death caulepa away. I don't like Caulepa. You dont have lot of SPS so tune down Cal and ALK to 450/8 0r 9. My temp always 78-79..

Nit and PO4?

Caulpera definitely went sexual, mine just did it two days ago. That usually means your nutrients are bottoming out, whether its nitrate or phosphate or both. I got lazy and stopped dosing nitrogen and phosphate and this happens.....

Get as much out as possible, do a water change, run carbon, and turn up your pumps/skimmer (the spores are know to deplete oxygen in tanks).

Thanks will do a big water change today as yesterday had no water ready but I stop the fuge pump feed..had fuge on the left side..today morning when I leave for work everything was looking fine
 
As long as you keep the flow going to the tank and the sump side your tank will be fine, fish and corals may be grossed out but it's cool lol the cloudiness is addressable when you get home.

No . But didnt have sticks just shrooms and lps. It dropped my ph a bit but nothing to alarming i didnt do water change i just ran some carbon and dumped my skimmer cup into fuge after i pulled out dead alage. Then i started to feed more often and turned skimmer off for a week. I dont run light on fuge 24/7 i run reverse schedule basically i was running to clean the alage was starving so it died off . Uped my bio load basically bought more fish and feed more often took carbon offline and any gfo if your running after dumping skimate into fuge algae looked great in a day it tried to do it one more time but i saw it and thats when i decided to turn skimmer off for while. Ive run calerpra for like seven yrs first time with this issue but i was doing major water changes to pull out the copper i added to the reef and thats why i hit zero nutrients all good now and fuge is filled with calerpra
