Nitrite: .25
Nitrate: between 0 and .25

thats weird that you have nitrite after a year. after 1 month in my tank i have 0 nitrite and a little bit of nitrate. what color is the cloudyness? are you using sand? leaving the lights on too long? in front of a window that gets sunlight? have you tried vacuuming the substrate?
Yes I use sand.. Its like a white cloudyness. If I don't so waterchanges after four days, then u can't see in the tank.
i use the argonitemax or something like that. its really light, fine sand but doesnt get cloudy anymore. I have no idea why you are getting the cloudyness unless theres something wrong with the water...or filter
not too sure. I'm going to clean the tank out again tomorrow and wash the sand. I have another tnak setup thats established as well so i'll start the tank over i guess. that's all i can think of.
