Need help with floating particles

[Tewhitte]

So I'm running a 32 gallon biocube with These specs

Aquamai powerhead
Gyre 1k
Mighty jet return pump
Biocube version 2 skimmer
Intank media basket with
Filter floss, 100 micro filter floss on top
Purigen
Chemipure blue
Matrix
I have a good bit of live rock and livestock
Diamond goby
2 clowns
Watchman goby
Pistol shrimp
Banghi cardinal
Rose bta
Assorted corals
I upgraded lights to Steve's leds

Water changes with nutrition sea water every two weeks

Dose aqua vitro fuel and no pox as needed

All tests are Hanna checkers except mag which is salafert

I can not get my water clear at all!! Tank is 3 yrs old.

What I wonder is if the diamond goby sifting is causing all this stuff to float around, it doesn't seem to be as bad at night only when lights come on does it get cloudy.

The goby is doing what they do. Particles in your water doesn't make it unclear. The photos you attached don't show any issues, to me anyway. Have a daytime?

The pic of the two clowns is during the day all those white specs are what I'm talking about. I can't post a video but you can see it better in the video

Any other ideas?

If they’re really particulates and not just air bubbles try the marine land magnum in tank polisher.

Three options that work extremely well for floating particles.

1. 10 micron filter socks. Make sure to get one with a plastic ring. Some of the others have metal (under the material) and are not reef safe.

2. You can use a flocculant like Dr. Tim’s Clear Up. This will cause smaller particles to attach to each other becoming a larger particle and now able to be exported.

3. Powerfilter
