20g Tank is 3 months old - getting some cloudiness and not sure what it’s from! I turned down the pumps to see if the sandbed was being stirred too much & collected some water to settle... no sand. I looked for microbubbles going in the overflow but didn’t see much.
See ATTACHED PHOTO, I know it’s not the best but looking for help on identification of the problem. Thanks for any tips!!!

Are you referring to the particulate in the water column? Could be dust from rocks or detritus floating around. You can clear it up if you like with gac or filter socks or filter floss.
