Hopefully I give out enough info to make this an easy topic but by issue is with very dirty water. I have a Fluval Evo 13.5g tank. It has been setup for about 2 months. I have a couple of snails and a couple of hermit grabs. I ghost feed the tank every few days some mysis shrimp. VERY small amounts. It seems to be enough to keep the cycle rocking. Anyways, about 3 weeks ago I started getting this really nasty looking water. Its the tiny white specs that are just blasting all around the tank. When I turn all the pumps off. They littery stand still and do not move in the water. Its like as if sand particals could flat in space. I have thought about it being ditritus or bubbles or sand getting blown around but it litteraly stands still when there is no water movement. I WAS running the stock foam filter and bio media etc but i ditched all that and moved to filter floss. I just now today got the bag of purigen i through in the chamber 1 insert from the brand inTank. Anyways, it seems to be getting worse. Here are a couple of pictures. These are NOT of dirty glass mind you, they are litterally scatted all throughout the tank...
Suspended debris issue.

Two questions come to mind:
1) Why are you ghost feeding a tank that has been set up and running for 2 months?
2) IMHO your debris should easily be getting filtered out by the filter media. Maybe you should try a filter sock for a couple of days and see if that collects it.
