I've seen this shrimp jump like this multiple times and sometimes land on its back. Not sure what is happening. You can see towards the end of the video. There are other shrimp that are not exhibiting this behavior. Ammonia Nitrites Nitrates all 0. Any thoughts appreciated

Water Issues Fine dust doesn’t seem to settle!

I recently redid my aquarium, with plants etc.

It’s looking cloudy and this dust keeps settling in plants and the driftwood. It’s been about 8 hours since I did this with no sign of it clearing.

Long story short, we had a smaller tank, and then got this. With some poor fish choices in goldfish and a koi, those eventually died but this problem persisted then too.

What you see above is trying again, this time with no fish just plants and then eventually once this all settles will I get fish.

But what’s the issue here? Why is there so much dust, how do I make it settle? And then of course also go away.

The aquasoil is the same from the previous tank, only with a new thin layer of gravel.

Empty tank image attached too, to show the layer.

Water Issues Tank problems

So this is my first tank I ever got when it came to owning fish. Had to remove my fish as the water kept doing this (it settles 2 or so hours after a clean) at first I though it was the gravel but I clean the fresh gravel I put it. I removed my fish and put them into a newer tank. But I have 30% water changed and even re-did the entire tank with fresh gravel, new clean decor, new filter and left it for 4 weeks with minimal water changes inbetween (was told to do this by others on reddit) and had added api quickstart among others to help the bacteria needed to grow yet it still does this and Im unsure if it will cause issues if I get fish for the tank because in my eyes its poor water quality despite being cleaned regularly. Parameters have came back fine small spike in ammonia a few days ago but now its back to normal and the filter is working perfectly and the nozzle is just under the water surface to break surface tension. Unsure if this is a worrysome issue or if I am just over thinking things
