Cloudy tank

My tank is cloudy when I wake up in the morning but when I come home from work it's crystal clear again. (10g nano reef) anyone know why?

What kind of live stock do you have for example corals, fish, Clean up crew? Maybe you have something that likes to stir up your gravel? Have you added any type of supplements to your aquarium? Have you checked to see if your powerheads are disturbing the sand

One power head pointed at surface and 2 clowns

Which type of clown fish do you have? Also what grain gravel do you have?

Maybe it's just morning eyes. I know everything is kind of cloudy for me in the morning. Are you dosing anything? What kind of water parameter numbers are you getting? It's just hard to tell from what you have said could be a fluke, could be a bacterial thing, could be precipitating at a low ph. How old is the set up?

Setup is around 4 months old, I have a frostbite and snow onyx clowns and it's fairly fine sand

Is it possible that the clowns are showing breeding behaviours? They tend to stir up sand bed if they feel another tank mate is too close to their hosting spot

They are the only fish, could be low ph I'll check when I get home

If your ph is low check your ALk as well. Open a window and let fresh air and CO2 in should increase the pH level.

Letting in fresh air will decrease to Co2 levels and the Ph will go up. What are you doing at night that is different? Dosing? , feeding?
Have you checked you parameters? Ca, alk, Mg
