Help. Can't figure this out.

[dwair]

So I've been watching the tank for the past week or so and I have abunch of stuff in my water Column floating around everywhere. Can't figure it out. I thought it was at first because I hadn't changed my filter socks in a couple of weeks. So I did a 10% water change, changed my Zeostones (Running Zeovit) and changed my carbon. Been 2 days and all this stuff is still around. Almost acts like I have no filter socks. But I am running 2-7" filter socks. 180g Tank - 67g Sump. Parameters are all good. Its not seeming to affect anything except the water isn't clear.

I took a video to try to capture it. You have to look for it, like right at the beginning look near the bottom between the 2 rock columns. Just focus on the water, not the coral or fish. You'll see it.

Help? Thanks in advance.[video=youtube;FIfkOtxrNJE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIfkOtxrNJE&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Didn't see anything, never ran filter socks do they have any loose material on them like particles from the actual sock, Thats all i could think of. that's a pretty black tang tho what kind is it?

Does it move like a cloud?

I see it!! Looks smokey, although very lite smokey. Could it be micro bubbles? Dust of some kind?

Definitely not micro bubbles. Dust maybe. Though that doesn't make sense, I have 2 Gyre xf150s on this tank with a TON of water movement. So its breaking the surface very well. And pushing everything to the center where the teeth to my overflow is.

My guess is something is spawning. I sometimes see my snails spewing clouds of stuff into my water column

No thats not it either. Tank is a month old. Only 20 turbo snails in there and I havent seen the spew anything. Only 3 fish that JUST got put in there. And this has been going on for more than a week.

Two Gyres....could it be the "fines" from the sand being kicked up.

I did think of that, but as I said the tank is a month old. Both Gyres been on from the start. Yet I've only seen it the last week. I could disable 1 gyre and see if it makes a difference though

In the video it a little eerie. Do you feed mysis/mysid?

No, no food was in tank.

U said it's a new tank, are you adding any supplements for bacterial growth that are sulfur based. Sometimes these create excess hydrogen gasses and can cause a slight haze like this for a while.. Had this in a Couple tanks.. Also there is not much growth for the tangs to feed on are they still pecking at the rocks and maybe creating some fines in the water from that?

we are gonna need a bigger boat!

The tangs were JUST added. This was going on for a week before they were added.
