Cloudy water after dinos, help please

[BuddyBonButt]

Good news, dinos are fought back. Bad news, water is very cloudy.

So I have a 90 gallon aquarium that started with dry rock and dry sand. Super low nutrients. I didn't know that was a dinos recipe.

I did a 3 day blackout (no corals no fish) just inverts. My fish are at my lfs for medicine.

The 3 day blackout basically cleared my sand and rock but now my water is super cloudy. Besides doing water changes, what could be done to clear the water up? Whats making my water cloudy? Dead suspended dinos? Algae bloom? Any info helps.

I bought:
Silica (to grow diatoms)
Microbacter7
Nëophos
Nëonitro
And extra phos reagents for hanna checker

Photo doesn't really help, photo looks way more clear. In person it isn't at all

Water parameters:
Amm: 0
Rite: 0
Rate: 10
Phos: 0.09

It could just be the Dino’s in the water. 3 day black out won’t kill them unless you have UV. Takes much longer to kill ‘em off from darkness.

could also be a bacterial bloom which could work in your favor.

Why won't they settle back down then? Lights been on

I would do a good sized water change and give it a couple of days to settle. Start with the lights low and bring them up to the normal level slowly

I'm already so low on nutrients. Is a wc the only option I've got?

Water change will help em bounce back. I would just do nothing

Good. I would still hold off on water change. Would also grab a small piece of rock from a healthy reef tank when you start adding the chemicals. Get some bio diversity going

I don't know of any healthy tanks around me, my lfs just had a velvet outbreak and I don't have Facebook. Plus I'm so new, I don't know how to tell what a healthy tank is. But I'll keep an eye out

I would do no water changes also, you are already low on nutrients. I would get some microbacter7 and dose that however.

I did, I'll mention it.

I figured a WC wouldn't help, thats why I made mention of it, so no one would think I'd do that
