My 125 gal tank has been up and running for a month. I have 90lbs of live rock, 160lbs of live sand. We also have 15 various damsel fish, two shrimp, 5 snails and three crabs. I also have a snowflake eel. The water was beautiful a few days ago but when I added more live rock the water became cloudy. I thought the water would clear up after a few days but it isn't getting any better. I think it is getting worse. It looks like there is smoke in the water. All of my levels are normal. Would a water change be beneficial or should I get something to help clear the water? Thanks!

That is an aweful lot of fish to add so soon after its cycled, especially with the Moray as they do increase the bioload quite alot. Im not saying that this has caused the water to go cloudy but i would watch your water peramters very closely.
Have you been dosing the water with anything?

You are looking at a bacteria bloom.You need to run carbon to clear the water, shouldnt cause harm to livestock but would advise that adding that much livestock after or while cycling.It can take up to two months to cycle...Was this liverock cured btw?
