Tiny Particles

HI guys
My tank is up and running about 5/6 weeks now I have crushed coral as my substrate
Done all my water checks everything perfect. 2 electric yellows, 4 red fin kadangos, electric blues and bristlenose.
But last few weeks I've got these tiny white particles float around the tank very annoying, I'm running an eheim classic 250 with blue sponge -substrate pro - blue sponge- white filter wool and layer of carbon, nothing seems to get rid of these particles, was at my local pet store and I was advised to do 10% water change every 2nd day for a few days till it clears so no joy, has any one had this problem
Cheers guys

 

Yes sir. I've been combatting this issue since I started my 29 gallon several months ago. I feel like I've narrowed down MY issue to dust particles in the substrate. (CaribSea EcoComplete and CaribSea Flora Max). I've been advised to add filter floss to my filter, and change it often until it goes away, as well as good graval vac'ing or two, or three. It's gotten better doing this the last two weeks, but it isn't all gone yet. It's terribly frustrating, even if our issues come from different sources, so I feel your pain.

 

You also have stocking issues, 40 gal for those fish is far too small
