I think UV sterilizer helps as well.

Is it a new tank?
what are the parameters, sump, equipment, etc...

TLC from a good fish store.......has helped me a lot. and running a carbon sac in the water flow.

I use Warner Marine Ultimate Snow combined with Reef plus Vitamin and Amino Acid Supplement for crystal clear water. I promise you will be impressed. It won't get rid of any algae but it WILL clear your water. Results are amazing and you see results really quickly within a week of using it. The Ultimate Snow serves as a transporter for additives or it can be used alone. It does wonders :)

Only time I've had water less than very clear was due to poor water quality or a new tank. An ample amount of live rock, good circulation, a UV, skimmer, and some filter floss is all I've really needed. Oh I almost forgot the most important for me - water changes!

You probably know this already - so if you want to go from clear to super clear I've ran chemi-pure elite before with nice results. Even regular ole carbon does seem to make a difference but I rarely use it - I guess I'm just happy with what works for me. Good luck.
