Hi, I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I recently had an aquarium emergency where the filter had failed and I hadn't realized for probably about two weeks. During this time, the aquarium fish were all fine and the tank only started becoming real cloudy in the last week. I only discovered it because i was vacuuming and digging around, but the lifted debris wasn't being filtered out. I replaced the filter, and I recently started feeding smaller amounts at more regular intervals. All of my fish look much healthier. I put some water clarifier in after the filter change to clear up the water. It should have been labeled "instant cloud", because that is what it added to my aquarium. I added that on Saturday, and it still hasn't been filtered out. I have tried using redundant filter cartridges and have cleaned the ones that are in there. My gouramis have been acting strange, sort of weak looking, but I didn't think there was any real issue. My water parameters are really good, nearly perfect, except for a few ppm of nitrates. I just discovered my gourami dead when I went to turn of my light.
Two questions:
Why did my gourami die?
What can I do to get rid of the cloud? I can't see from one end of the tank to the other.

I am not really new to fishkeeping, but I always seem to have issues.
