What he said ^^^

I have had aquariums from 10 gallon to 300 gallon for most of my adult life ...

NEVER change all the filter mediums at the same time ...

The same way you need yogurt to make yogurt, or you need sour dough bread to make sour dough bread .... you need aquarium bacteria present to keep it clear ...

GO to a high end aquarium store and you can get bottled "good bacterias" that you can add to the "new" water - it will tell you how much per 10 gallons on the bottle.

Be patient and get the water properly cycled before you attempt to put any fish in ...
