HELP..CLOUDY WATER..CAN'T FIX

RINSED IN TANK WATER, IN SEPERATE BUCKET THEN REPLACED.
I NEVER REPLACE BOTH.
I AM SURE THE TANK IS ESTABLISHED/CYCLED.
 
what size filter are you running? also, this happened to me, I bought amquel+
it worked, took a little bit but it worked, also used a water clarifier. I never found out if it was algae bloom or not, but I do know that when it is cloudy like milky like yours usualy indicates an upset in the biological filter and the good bacteria is trying to get the bad under control.
 
Your nitrate most definitely should not be at 0. The nitrite is up which is probably due to the heavy stocking...unless you're using some chemical/additive zyme type of thing in the tank or filter which could mess up your readings.

The bigger tanks is key here...your two plecos alone are bioload monsters!
