I originally started growing the caulerpa for our ember blenny. He was a very picky eater and would not eat prepared food. So I started growing it in my kitchen tank to make sure I had a steady suppy for him to dine on. Unfortunately Spidey died in july ... so after this mornings events I have since removed all of the caulerpa.

IME, oxygen is the biggest thing to worry about in this instance, after of course a couple good water changes.

I have had this happen to me a number of times as I usually use macro algae for filtration in all my nano set ups.

I have found that adding an airstone or an extra pump at the waters surface until things clear up really helps everything get back back to normal.

thanks for the input gobytron.... I actually left the water level down a bit after the water change so that my powerhead is creating more surface movement. the tank looks alot better but is still a bit cloudy. I am considering another water change later today.
