Default The Great Crash of 07

I had a 55 gallon tank up an running with no water problems for about 3 weeks.

Last week the tank broke (center brace, see previous post), transfered my fish to a existing 30 gallon, bought a new 55 added all existing gravel, what little water was left (5 gallons or so) and started new.

Like a fool I didnt cycle the tank..........let it run for 72 hours and slowly added all my fish back.

now one week later......total crash.........amonia is up over 8 (yikes) and PH is way low <6.0.

I moved all my fish back to the 30 two days ago to try and cycle it out.

however, it has actually gotten much worse......water is so cloudy I cant see through.

I am running a fluval 304 and a whisper 40 on this tank...........any suggestions?

I have done the following.....added PH nuetral, added amonia nuetralizer........etc.

I am changing out about 5 gallons a day........leaving lights, filters and air pump on.

Tips, suggestions, HELP...............
