How to keep my fish water turing cloudy?

By on Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 | 5 Comments

I have a 15 gal tank. I have to bubble eyed black gold fish, and some live plants. I talk to the a guy at pets mart and he told me that there is many factors for my water to be cloudy some are
to much sun light, to much food, blah blah blah. So I moved my fish tank where it isn’t getting no sun light just my over head light, and he told me to feed them once a day so I did that. He told me to add some plants to add oxygen to the water, and the plants will love the waste of my fish, so I added 3 live plants. I did a water change and my freaking water is still cloudy. I have added stuff to clean the water -Did not help at all!!! I just started doing 50% water changes once a week with a new filter. Should that help or is it just no hope for my fish =[ ???
Oh and he said that the plants I added my fish wont like, but when I came in today my fish messed up all 3 plants!!!

so i have a 20 gallon tank that i still have running with just a pair of angelfish i dont really want anymore, so i will either be moving them to one of my other tanks, or putting them in as store trade at my local pet store. i want to make it a salt water nano reef. i have a 30 gallon marineland filter, a 100w heater, and a 20 gallon power head,

i know for sure that i will be buying:

1. fiji live rock
2. fiji live sand
3. pair of clowns
4. some easy corals i dont have the names but my pet store that is very trust-worthy has a few.
5.a hydrometer
6. test kits
7. salt mix
8. if i can find one small enough a protein skimmer
9. a cleaner crew, some hermit crabs, and other small invertes.

So what else would i need? i know nano reefs are very hard to keep, and costly, but i am willing to work with it.

i have plenty of time to take care of the tank, i already have 5 hours a week devoted to my freshwater fish. and am willing to put in any other time needed.

the cost is something i can work with, i dont always have a lot of money but i am starting with very basic non expensive stuff, and moving up in quality and supplies. i will be running into 300 extra dollars soon, that will be stricktly to my saltwater fund.

I also know i will need special lighting to grow corals, so i was thinking T2 lighting to save some cash, but COULD i just get 2 10,000K bulbs and put them in my old light fixture,

how many watts a gallon again?

sorry guys im a noob in saltwater.

but i really want this to work out for me i have done some research over the months. please help me

i dont want a lecture saying im stupid and cant do this

my parents clean the whole aquarium tank every week or so bcoz the tank keeps turing green…?
