CLOUDY WATER :(

[Dloks]

I have a 210g tank I do a 30% W/C every day, I'm running a FX5, AC110, and a 40g sump. My tank is pretty new, I didn't cycle but I switched the same filter and water from my old tank to this one so in general it was a massive water change in a way. For some reason my tank is pretty murky all the time, before I switched tanks my water was crystal clear, I tested my water it has 0 amonina 0 nitrite 0 nitrate. All my parameter is good, so why is it my tank is murky I tried adding carbon, 3pds worth and no luck. Please help me clear up my tank, its an eye sore

A DE filter is pretty much the only filter I have seen that is guaranteed to clean murky water. I run mine for about a day or two a month and never have murky water but notice an improvement every time I run it.

DE?

Let the water cycle for a little while and the water should clear up. I think you might be doing too much water changes.

Those are great numbers for drinking water, but not if your trying to cycle a tank.
With 0 ammonia, you must not have any fish in there????
Best guess, you have a bacterial bloom.
Most all new/fresh tanks get them.
You need to get a handle on the nitrogen cycle and how it works.
Milky/white-ish water is a classic sign of a tank out of balance.
Even with media from a healthy tank you can have an un-cycled condition.
