Could it possibly be micro bubbles?

Don't think it's microbubbles as when mentioned it clouds the water when a rock is moved.

If you have a sump, put a filter sock in, or use a product like Pro-Clear Marine Clarifier by Kent. I know it did wonders for us when we set up our Display Tank.

To prevent cloudy water avoid overcrowding, do not overfeed fish, perform regular water changes and maintain sufficient filtration and water circulation.

I've checked for microbubbles and its definately not that. I have also been using several polishing filters which turn deep green and clogged up in about 2 hours (and getting expensive). I'll give the filter sock a try and hope that things settle down over time. Only have two clowns in the tank and they don't seem to mind at the moment.

I would give the socks a try...I have 3 of them, and rotate them. When one get's dirty, and pull it out, turn it inside out and toss it in the washing machine and wash it in bleach...it's worth a try.

I found the combination of NP Biopellets, carbon and a large filter sock to do the trick.
