Believe me, I'm the last person you should be taking water clearing lessons from! But let me ask again, did you vacuum the bottom of the tank when you did your water change? I have a feeling you're going to be pulling up tons of brown stuff. If you didn't, DO IT! And stick a .50 micron filter pad in your filters (9 bucks for enough to make 3 pads, reusable) to get out as much of the aragonite dust as possible.
Mystic, I will be very happy to achieve same level of cleanliness as in your tank.
Oh, yes, I did vacuumed sand. Water become cloudy after it, but then its settled. There is a difference of cloudiness from the sand disturbance, and my other usual cloudiness which is milky hazy with a yellow tinge.
I am using Pulyfilter pads in my both filters, which guy in the shop advised. (apart of numerous other media) I can't stuff my filters with more media which I already had.
I will change water today, because its probably will takes days before my RO unit will be installed, plus few days to collect water. Then I will have another change with RO water.
I am starting to giving up now.

The hand like thing is a polyp and it may take a few days for it to onpen up in your tank. You are referring to the xenia, not sure if it's the blue or the pompom, they will be fine, just give them some time.
