Cloudy water

[ba8yan9el7]

I want to purchase a condi anemone, but i want to know exactly what they like to eat. Also, ive did my monthly water change and my water gets cloudy. Is that because i was stiffing the bottom of the tank and cz of the new water change...bacteria bloom..??. How exactly would i go about to clear up that problem.

I have 2 canister filters on my 55 gal tank, in addition to the wet/dry sump. I check the filters by putting my finger over the output and change them out when I do my weekly water changes. At that time, I also stir up the substrate a little in different areas each time and the fresh filter cleans up the tank really quickly. The tanks's then good to go until next week.
Paper cartridge filters like I have are great at clearingcloudy water from my tank, but they do have to be cleaned/changed regularly.

Do you let your water sit over night before you add it to the tank? If not then that is mabye the problem. The mixed salt water doesnt clear up until hours after you mixed it.
