Ok so i did i pretty large sized water change on my 90 gal salt water tank. I prepared the salt water the night before in a garbage can i bought specifically for this. After syphoning the water out i very slowly over the course of 2-3 hours added the new water. Now i am starting to notice the fish seem to be irretated, not sure if it is caused by the water change or if they have a virus or fungus of some sort...my yellow tang has looked cloudy for about a week so that couldn't have been cause by the water change...water are common health problems with salt water fish besides ich...and how do i get rid of the problems??

chek your ph if you didnt put marine buffer to bring ph up then it has to be real low espeacialy with a big water change . but i think is your ph or low salt levels check those two and write me back
Agreed. Check ph, sg(salinity), and water source for chloramine, chlorine, and ammonia, pretty common for even bottled water to have ammonia in high levels. All of these will cause aggression and irratic behavior in marine tanks.
As far as diseases a cloudy color or fading to the color is usually an indicator of lighting or diet rather than disease. But there are numerous ailments that can do the same. Any other symptoms?

What is the salinity and ph also what is the diet of the fish has it been mixed or the same thing day in and out? Most problem's come from stress, poor water quality, insufficient diet, temperature fluctuations', Ph fluctuation's. If you need more help please private message me.
