I’m still fairly new to the hobby. I have a 6 month old 37 gal tank, about 15lbs of live rock, and 2 bags of “live” black sand/gravel. It’s been clear water for most of the time I’ve been running it. However in the last two weeks, no matter if I change to a new filter media or clean it or wash all the pieces, the water has white sediment throughout all of it. I do 20% water changes weekly and recently did a 50% change this week to help the issue. I have also added phos filters and it seemed to help for a day or two but then went back to spewing the white sediments out. My black Darwin clown now has the same white spots/sediments on him and I’m worried it could be brook or ich. However the Picasso clown looks just fine. As well as my diamond goby and cleaner shrimp are looking/acting normal. Any suggestions ?

I currently have an internal aqueon filter that I plan on upgrading to the fx4 or something equivalent for my setup. However I am open to suggestions or ideas IMG_9088.jpeg IMG_9089.jpeg IMG_9090.jpeg
