tap h2o is probably the problem.

 

Check ammonia, if you have high ammonia its an "ammonia cloud"

 

 

Keep using the carbon it should clear it up, maybe try filter media such as a sponge/pad to catch the big particles

i checked my amoina and its still at zero so i dont think it could be that plus the tank has looked like this for a couple of weeks when all i had was a single clown in there. im not dosing any chemicles so that cant be it and the other thing that is bothering me is that im using the same water to topoff my 2.5 and its cristal clear. ill try to post a pic latter when i get my camera working again it loves to eat batteries.
