Hey there,
Relatively new reefer here, I currently have a 75 gallon that has been up and running for about 2 months. I had transferred all live rock and filtration from an established tank to this one. I only have a pair of clowns and a bi color angel and no new additions so my bio load is low but it seems I’ve always had cloudy water. I am running 2 tidal 75 hob’s and have always kept up with husbandry. The water will sometimes become less cloudy some days but others I can barely see in it. I use phosguard and clarity which don’t seem to fix the issue. The tank gets some direct sunlight each morning for about 3-4 hours but no more. My parameters are perfect and I can’t seem to find the problem. I was considering a UV sterilizer but anyone have any other suggestions on what the problem could be? I’ve attached pictures of what it looked like today. TIA

Try adding microbactor 7 and adding a high grade carbon like reef spec
 
Looks like a bacteria bloom. Drop in an air stone if you have one too. It will help your clowns breathe easier.
