your tank cycled in one month and you've already had 7 fish die? how many were in there total? you are going way too fast i would take the remaining fish back asap

It sounds as though your tank hasnt cycled completely...and also, what type of water are you using (the brown stuff), and how were the fish acclimated? Symptoms? What?
To able everyone to better address your questions and/or problems, we really need alot more information.
Update some info and lets see what the problem(s) may be.

WELCOME

Sorry for your losses.
The brown stuff all over your tank is diatoms. It's common in new tanks. They usually go away on their own. So don't worry about that.
I agree that you were probably way overstocked too quickly. Newly cycled tanks need to be stocked very slowly.
Give us your water test readings and tell us what is and what was in your tak and we can help.
