Hi everywhere,
This has been going on for a few weeks now, my tank will be 4 months old on the 3rd next month. But the water in my reef almost looks as if there’s a bunch of tiny white particles everywhere in the water column, my salt mix is completely dissolved before added to the tank with any water change so I don’t think it can be undissolved salt particles. It hasn’t cleared up at all and it happened very suddenly, almost overnight. It’s making my water not crystal clear like it used to be. A photo from the side is the clearest view of it i could capture. Thank you very much.

90 gallon soft reef
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: around 5
Phosphate: undetectable

No I thought they were pods too originally, but they don’t swim freely when I shut the pumps off, it’s almost like it’s unsettled sand, but I’ve used this sand for months and this only started happening about 2-3 weeks ago.
