ever since i had this tank, it always have this dusty look.

setup: 29gal with ~20lb-25lb of liverock. two powerheads on each side of the tank, coralife mini skimmer 115, heater, and livesand.

the tank is cycled and currently hosting 2 clowns, one sandsifting goby, one tiger pistol, one bubbletip anem, one kenya tree, some zoa, blue and red leg hermit crabs, few small snails, a breeder box to serve as a ghetto refugium holding chaeto and some small inverts. what could be the cause of this? it's like my tank is plastered with these "dusty particles". it comes back as soon as i scrape them off in a matter of days. i do not overfeed as i watch my livestock eat and finish the majority of the frozen brine shrimp before i take my eyes off the tank.
