for the past few days my tank has had a whiteish haze to it i dont know how to get rid of it ive done water changes everyday but that dosent seem to help
test results:
ph: 8.0
ammonia: 0.00
nitrite: 1.0
nitrate: 0.0
 
Are you currently cycling the tank? If not, the nitrites indicate that your tank is going through a mini cycle. Can you tell me all the things you have done in the last 2 weeks as far as cleaning your tank and/or filter and how often?
 
I agree with Tokis-Phoenix.

Sounds like a bacterial bloom possibly caused by your high nitrite. Levels above 0.2 mg/l nitrite are harmful to fish.

How long has your tank been set-up? Sounds like it may be still cycling as you have zero nitrate in a well-stocked tank. I suggest more water changes to keep the nitrite down to a safe level.
 
in the last 2 weeks i have changed the filter cartrage washed my decore and done 2 big water changes along with a few little ones
