    Is he dieing?

    You should really consider bringing the plecos back since they both need a much bigger tank, maybe consider oto's or any pleco that stay under 5".

    vacuuming?

    I think he is saying that when he tries to vac all the gravel the water gets to low. If that is what you are saying then just vac about a third of the gravel every time you do a water change. And about the filter question I think you are asking if it is ok to take the water from the water...

    Cloudy water issues...

    I would order the AP master test kit and Prime and have it shipped to your place. And since you tank is still in the cycle process you should be doing 30% water changes daily to keep the ammonia and nitrite levels either really low or at 0.

    Cloudy water issues...

    If it's only been up for two weeks what are the amonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings because unless you cycled the tank before you got the fish it might be a bacterial bloom. And take what the LFS says with a grain of saltbecause most of them are just there to make money.

    Cloudy water issues...

    I personaly wouldn't use the ph buffer a constant ph is better than one that is constantly going up a down. About the cloudiness how long has the tank been set up, because if it hasn't been set up long it could be a baterial bloom.

    How to stock my new 20G

    You are right about the puffers it all depends on the individual fish but just keep a look out for any aggressivness with it because I've heard of them just turning on tank mates over night.
