The other week I asked about some tiny things in the glass moving so in the video all them particals things I’m not sure if they are living things as there are a few of them live things on the glass moving that look exactly like the floating stuff

I definitely think what ever they are they are live and swimming around there is millions of them

Managed to get a video of one on the glass as best as possible

If you zoom in at points it looks to have a tail
 
Could be something like detritus worms? Is it the lighting or is your tank water cloudy?
 
I can never seem to get the water clear
 
Someone more knowledgeable than me should be able to give a better answer but cloudy water could be due to bacterial bloom. Whether that's linked to whatever you're seeing in these videos I don't know, when I had this a long time ago I dealt with it through daily water changes and reducing feeding, someone else may be able to advise if there are other methods of dealing with it. Definitely wait until both issues are cleared up before adding anything else to the tank.
 
I’m wondering they could be small micro bubbles
I have just added some fresh carbon in the filter to clear out the meds I have been using
 
Hm, hard to say. Some of the white specks look like debris being pushed around by the filter. But one of the specks is moving like a copepod. Most copepods are harmless and the fish enjoy eating them. I like having them in my tanks, but they never last long once I introduce fish.

What meds have you been using, and what for?
 
Protozin for white spot I just can’t seem to ever get clear water
