13.4 nano tank

[Trenton0115]

Hello everyone! I have a 13.4 gallon Tideline tank that’s been running for about 3 months now.. I have 2 clowns, a royal, and a few snails.. I CANNOT seem to get rid of this cloudy haze in the water and I test parameters/change water weekly and there is literally nothing that sticks out as to what could be causing is. I have a media basket that I run floss and an ammonia/nitrite neutralizer In. My fish are thriving but the constant cloudiness drives me crazy. I also have tried putting corals from my main 50g tank in my nano, and they stay closed/will not open. Any help or opinions would be appreciated!!

When is the last time you tested and what were the results. I’ve seen tanks with high alk get cloudy for periods of time

How much rock do you have in the tank? How is the flow? How are you oxiginating the water? Thats a big bioload in a small tank.

I currently have the stock pump moving the water with the nozzle pointed right at the surface.. The Royal will be moved to my other tank soon!
