Tin Clown

Why has my established fish tank gone cloudy?
Well my 100 gallon fish tank has been established for 1 year. For about a month the water has been cloudy. The ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels are low (0 ppm). I do a weekly ( bi weekly when i get lazy), 20% water change. The fish shows no sign of stress. I have a black, bala, and a red tail shark. Rafael, lace, and a pitcus cat fish, clown loach, gold gourami, 2 angels, silver dollar, tin foil barb,clown pleco, Hifin spoted pleco. I dont use any chemicals in the tank except stress coat when i do water changes. My ph is lower than normal (6.0). I dont know if that can cause the cloudiness. I dont want to change all the tank water the fish are gettin huge, would hate to lose one . The black shark is 10 inches its the biggest. By the way all the fish besides the hi fin pleco are 1yrs old. rafael cat is 4yrs old. Any recomendation would be gratefull.

Tanks are never fully established, cycling is an ongoing process. Adding fish, changing water, cleaning decor, changing gravel, changing filter will all put your tank into a mini-cycle. If the cloudiness is a milky colour then this is a bacterial bloom which is a normal part of that cycling that will clear on its own given a few days. The fact that this is happened in a year means you a most likely changing filters reguarly and using water conditioner so things like over zealous cleaning, gravel change, too much water change or new fish etc could have caused it.
If the water is green then you have an algae bloom and regular water changes, keep away from direct sunlight and keep your tank lighting to a minimum for a bit will clear it.
If it’s neither, have you recently disturbed your gravel with over gravel vacuuming? A vacuum will not pick up debris unless you move over the gravel slowly. have you added a fish that likes to dig through the substrate?
Check your filter maintenance. Is it clogged/gunged up? Does your media need changing (do not change all at once)
You can buy products that bind together small particles so that your filter can grab them and hence no more cloudy water but I would tackle the initial problem rather than to hide them like this. Theres no need to add chemicals to a tank if you dont need them.
