cloudy water and cannot figure out why

I set up a 90 gallon that has been running for over two months and cannot figure out why the water gets cloudy every once in a while. It is always a little cloudy but at times it gets bad. I am running a wet/dry, protein skimmer, RO/DI, and carbon. Any suggestions thst I could try?

what color is the water? Green or white? It can be either phyto bloom or bacteria boom. You just need to wait, and over time things will balbance out.

thanks for the advice. The olor of the water is a milky white color not green. I have been dosing the tank and was thinking that this could be the problem, but it happens whenever it wants. Thanks for the advice, I am going to wait it out.

the particulate matter floating in the fluid is left there on purpose by not microfiltering... it greatly enhances the flavor of the beer IMO. I've got no idea on your tank water
