Cloudy water

[MDboyz]

I have this weird thing that my water is cloudy in the morning. Then it is clear up in the evening. It happens like that everyday. My tank is almost 5 months old.

hi.
do you have a pH test kit handy to test the water at clear and cloudy time? It will be interesting to know if your pH is reverse of most people's. Any specifics of your equip. and tank?

What is the set-up?
Sand?
Fish?
Inverts?
Filters/pumps?
does anything turn off at night?

Could you please list any additives you're adding and your test kit readings?
