Aside from the tinge of green appearing on the glass look at the returning water column for micro bubbles.

Can you post pics of the haze,etc?

Lights are off at the minute but this is the haze on the glass.... how you see the glass is how my tank water is

How long ago did you stock your tank? Seems like a good bio load for a 10 week old tank.
 
Im.currently getting something similar in my tank I can't see across the 6 ft almost . The 3 fish are healthy and eating. I can almost see a soup getting mixed in water
Like something is in it
.bacteria bloom?
 
I would start with 3, 30% water changes with a good quality salt mix to correct the copper and lanthium contamination. A day apart btw water changes. These contaminants are probably killing your biological filtration, causing the cloudy water. Other than that, I just think the tank needs time to mature.
