Do you run a skimmer? What you have is suspended algae in the water column. Water changes and running carbon, can help as well. Never overfeed. calipora (spelling?) will go asexual and make the water green...remove it if it is in the tank.

How often do you do water changes? Smaller the tank the more frequent water changes. Was going to say its cause you need a skimmer but you probably dont have a spot to put it on the smaller tanks. On my 24g I ran a 20g sump and placed the skimmer there.

They make skimmers for all size tanks...there is a nano skimmer. Skimmers pull out pollutants that you can't even test for.
