He's had it for a long time. Not a serious case, as in you can barely see the retina....He just has a slight to moderate cloud or milky fog covering both of his entire eyes.
I'd say he's had it for well over 6 months. Cloudiness clears up 75% of the way after a good water change but returns within a half day.
I increased water changes to 50% every Sunday. After a month with no improvement, I upped the 50% water changes to every Sunday and then again on Wednesdays. After a month, no improvement.
Two weeks ago I dosed aquarium salt and have added the salt needed to replace the water coming out during WC's. No improvement.
One rounded tablespoon for every 5 gallons is what the directions tell me on the brand of salt I'm using.

Equals out to about 15 tablespoons for my 75 gallon.
Given the amount of substrate I'm using, I dosed 14 rounded tablespoons on the first dosage. Then I'm dosing 7 tablespoons for every 50% water change I do.
Last week I began dosing Melafix at 75% the recommended
dosage...no improvement at.
PH - 7.8
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5
GH - 8
KH - 4
Got any ideas?
I'm nervous to go to hard drugs so I started with Melafix. This didn't even help a little bit, so I'm thinking the hard stuff starting at half (maybe 2/3 or 3/4) the recommended dosage is where I might end up, water changes is just not clearing his eyes up.

That's pretty much it....
Don't really have any experience dosing any of these so as I said before, I'm pretty nervous. Also like stated before, the eye cloud is not severe, but it does seem as if its getting worse as time goes on...Otherwise honestly, I'd just live with it.
First pic is how he looks normally. Second and third is after a water change. Last pic is a few hours after the water change. After half a day, he looks as he does in the first pic again.
