test for calcium and alk. W/c is probably your best bet to remedy it IMHO

how much did you drop in your tank? Not to be snarky, but, you do know that when you add the alkalinity portion of the 2 part system there is always some cloudiness in the area where you added the alk due to calcium precip?

Water change and test, water change and test, small changes are best. Man, I remember the day i was testing my water params and had turned around and dumped the test right back in my 14 gallon biocube. I freaked out, did a couple water changes,and nothing bad happened to my corals.

It will settle itself out and sounds like it has at ph 8.3. Test the alk and calcium. Use a turkey baster and blow the precipitate off your corals.
