Will anyone help me out? Please!?

Okay i have a 22gallon, fully cycled, planted, heated, filtered, rocks, wood and anything you can imagine(within reason).

I have had Bolivians and they were very disapointing, they were really grey and dull in color.
I my self would go with German Blue Rams or Even Gold Rams They have VERY Pretty Colors.
Bolivians are a little bit bigger than Germen Blues but are not as colorful.
you can also get Long fin breeds of blue and gold rams now!

Hello again! Recently I have been having some trouble with white cloudy water in my aquarium. In my first aquarium (10 gal) I had some plastic plants and a couple rocks. I didn’t cycle it properly with all of the water changes and tests so the water became incredibly yellow and cloudy. I decided to start over in a new 15 gal aquarium. It was my fathers when he was a kid and is a solid 33 years old. It was in perfect condition after being neglected in my grandparents basement for the last 20 years! No cracks or anything! Well anyways, the water is getting cloudy in this aquarium too! It has been open for 2.5 months. Currently it is being properly or rather, more properly cycled. Unfortunately, I had to add all eight fish I had in the ten gallon the day after I opened the 15 gal. So now, all of the levels are a tad high. my levels are:
Nitrate- 10.0-20.0ppm
Nitrite- 0.0ppm
PH- 6.4 (went low after a water change, currently working on it)
Ammonia- 0-0.25
I think the fast transfer of all of the fish contributes to the cloudiness. I have 8 fish in the tank. I am under all circumstances overstocked. I have: 2 serpeas, 2 redeyes, 2 mollies, 1 pleco, and 1 kissing gourami. Ok so now on to equiptment. For filtration I am running an aquaclear 150 with two sponge inserts and 1 carbon. I run it 24/7! For oxygen I am running an air pump with and airstone. This is a planted tank with co2. I am running a DIY co2 system until I get my hands on one of those high end pressurized systems. I do have a check valve in the tubing! I ran the co2 directly to the input on my filter. The plants are: an aqua fern, another fern, a grassy plant, an anubia, and another stem plant that I cant remember the name of, all from petsmart. I also have some rocks in the tank which until recently relized are spray painted. They came with the tank originally. Also another note: All of this stuff worked perfectly for the tank when it was originally run in my house! Although we didn’t have any live plants. I decided to use a fluorite substrate both for looks and functionality. It has the worst dust problem though! (any ideas on that?) As for lighting. I have the original, yes, original fluorescent bulb that came with the hood in like the 70’s! Just to make it even better it doesn’t have a wattage label on it! It is fairly bright and the plants aren’t dead so I think I’m good. As for chemicals I use jungle brand start right, stress zyme, and nutrafin plantGRO iron enriched. Well I need two answers;
1)Why is it cloudy?! Overstocked? Just cycling? Give it time?
2)How can I get the cloudiness out?! Water changes? More chemicals? To much chemicals?
Please help and sorry for the novel of info above! If you need any more info please let me know!
Thankyou!
the filter is rated for 10-30 gallons so i think its sufficient. Im by no means a fish expert though…

It is hard to find information about these on the internet. Thanks for helping.

I spend to replace the carbon filter on my water filter/pitcher every few months. Would the activated carbon used by home distillers be as good an option to filter my water? The exact brand I’m thinking about is Prestige stone activated carbon (.4-1.4mm), and I would be running it through a coffee filter in the existing housing on my water pitcher.

Can any chemists – amateur or professional – tell me if this would be a good or bad idea?

This 4,000 square foot house has geothermal heat pumps that limit electricity use and provide year-long heat and air conditioning. The system only uses 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems use. The home also collects water from it’s showers, sinks and toilets, runs it through an underground filtration system and stores it in a 25,000 gallon cistern with rainwater collected from the roof. The water cistern is later used to irrigate the landscaping around the property.

The other guy has a 10,000 sq. ft., 20 room mansion where the reported electric bill for the year was ,000.00. It used nearly 221,000kWh which is more than 20 times the national average…. and this is just one of his 3 homes. This truley is "an inconvenient truth" for this guy.

Again….. no one talking about this.
these facts don’t fit your point of view JJ? Kind of sucks when you find out your leader is a fraud. But… you have every right to continue to support Gore and his myth… You can find plenty of questions and answers here that are "made up" to fit your agenda…. don’t be bothered with the facts on this one.
uh… Shuana… I’m talking about George Bush’s Home… not the white house… and no… green electricity does not cost 10 times more… actually it’s not quite twice as much…. but even if it was 10 times more…. he still uses 20 times more than the national average…. and I wonder why when this report came out he is suddenly making all these improvements to "green" up his home… yes, I have done my research… you should do more and stop being an appologist for someone who clearly does not believe or support what he preaches… its embarrasing
uh Frankie… where does electricity come from?
JJ…did I at any point in this question link his environmentally sound home to any other statement or decision, good or bad, that he has made to give him a "free pass" on the poor decisions made?

You are the one who is trying to link everything you dissagree with to this question and you are trying to discredit his actions. The way someone personally lives says a lot about them. Al Gore abviously doesn’t put too much stock into his theory.

This question is soley to discuss Al Gore’s Hypocrisy vs. George Bush’s conservation. IT IS CLEAR… NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO TRY AND SPIN IT. If you want to discuss other topics about George or AL ask the question… I’ll look for it.
BTW JJ… read the link provided to you by Scott just below your statement… then ask me about Fossil Fuels.
oh off sets are great huh JJ… so basically…. if you can afford it… you can live any way you like… wow!! That is really caring about the environment huh!

You are so right… more research needed… OH… anything else you would like to give your mentor a free pass on? Does his private Jet run off green fuel too? I’m just curious… oh thats right…. he throws a lot of money into his fake company to "offset" his use…. silly me!

Is this true and if so, what about those home water filter units that you filter tap water yourself like brita or Pur, do those cut out the minerals as well?
