So after something killing all my fish, my tank won't stop being cloudy. Here is that link.

All the parameters are fine and temp stays around 80. The tank is 110gallons. I'm running a 30g sump with about 1000gph filtration. So what's making it cloudy

Did you leave some water in the tank afterall the fish died
and how come i see a pleco in there? if all fish die, my only suggestion is Cleaning EVERYTHING including substrate and removing all water and restarting

happened to me once in my 20G as a newbie, and that is the only way, or there are still dead fish parts stuck under the substrate

I'm sorry to hear that! how horrible it must have been. I would recommend sterilizing everything and starting from scratch as stated above. If you don't know what killed them then better safe than sorry.
Boil your substrate or throw it away. Bleach everything and toss out filter media.

Well, I do still have my pleco trying to survive but other than that everything died. It's kinda hard to start over when you have to pay for water here

Do you have a QT to put him in?
You have to pay for water?!

I have a 10g tank and he is 12" so, I'm not sure that will work and yes I have to pay for water. I live by Houston. And for 10g its 50$ almost so I can't imagine my next bill. I've used almost 1800gallons

Wow! That's expensive. I'm sorry.
