Do you recommend I move the tank into a room with no light? Or at least less light than what it is getting. It will go in our basement once it is finished. Should I also get a different form of filtration?

If you are able to - would be to your advantage and an opportunity to do a major water change

The light hours you have are fine and can go 9a-9p. The sunlight from kitchen window whether it is direct or indirect is likely your issue as UV rays are very strong. Window is an issue in this respect not to mention potential for sunlight to warm the tank up especially in warm climates and during winter have thermal effect in which the tank gets chilled.
I would at minimum get black construction paper (94 cents at walmart school section) and place on tank glass that faces window, If light goes over the tank, youre back to square one.

will I lose my livestock if this doesn't clear up soon? im going to move the tank and do a huge WC tomorrow, as well as add the chemipure and get my power head pointed up for my O2 in the water

Instead of moving .
id try black construction paper on the side closest to the light .
more flow towards the surface and add better filtration .
Adding chemi , filter floss

There is a product aqua vitro ( seachem )
Remediation ( natural organic waste management

Is this something worth recommending ?
I used it when I suspected a bacterial /algae bloom
