Ok, so I did about an 80% water change. It was about 2 inches of water remaining in the tank. I put roughly 17 gallons of distilled water. Did not see your post obviously until now. I did this on wednesday night. Water was crystal clear, fish seemed very happy. I went to my parents until a hour or so ago, and fed a small amount before I left, and when I got back, the white stuff was back, water was cloudy, fish were still happy. Since I took them all(8 guppies and the pleco) out of the 6 gallon tank, gave away 6 of the guppies, got the 2 rams, I just put them back in my 6gallon tank. I have decided to go with a saltwater tank, which is what I originally wanted anyway, just didn't think I could do a reef tank in such a small tank. Seeing that I can, That's what I am going to go with. Also purchased a RO/DI machine for my water. Only does 24g/day, but with a 20 gallon system, that should be FINE.


Thank you all for your help. Now they are all happy as pigs in slop in the older tank.
