Water cloudier after starting skimmer?

5 weeks into this tank (Biocube 29) and all water tests look good:

 

Ammonia - 0

Calcium - 420

Nitrate - 5

Nitrite - 0

Phosphate - 0

pH - 8.4

Salinity - 1.027

Temp - 78.3

 

Last night I fired up the Tunze 9002 and overnight it gave me a cup full of really light tea colored water and some foam on top. I think this unit still needs tweaking but I'm working on that. I've also been running a media basket with filter floss, Purigen, and Chemi-Pure Elite in that order from top to bottom.

 

Today my water is a little cloudier than last night and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the skimmer. Thoughts?

 

Here's a picture showing the cloudiness:
