murky water

all water out, but its not white murky, i seen this done before, where in
about 2-3 days the water will turn whitish in color, then return back to
clear a few days after that

no, this is almost like algey color, u cant even see the back of the fish
tank, the only fish you see is if they touch the front of the glass

so you took all the water out and replaced it with new water? is the water
a
smokey white cloudy murky? if it is its just the nitrifying bacteria
establishin its base and it will last lik upto 6 weeks. regular tank
maintenence consits of partial water changes once a week. only take out
20 -
30 percent of the water and replace it all the while vaccuuming the
gravel
with a syphon. someone else will prolly give you links to explain better
the whole bacteria thing.

mom in law gave us a fish tank, plus about 7 fish, this was about 4
months
ago. the first few months, the water of course was very clean, so after
about 2-3 months, i decided to get the fish out, and clean out the
water,
bout a hose at walmart

anyway, ever since then, no matter what i do, after about 1-2 weeks
time,
the water turns murky. Last time i cleaned it, it took me an hour, i
made
sure i got all the **** from the bottom, cleaned the glass, everything!
