Learn what "cycling" means and how it works and you'll have a much easier time of things. There are multiple ways to cycle a tank. Used (aka dirty) filter media from another healthy tank is my method of choice.
No i'm not refilling the tank each time. When I set the aquarium up the first time, the water was cloudy for a good 10 days or so, then our house got flooded so we had to abandon that before we even got a chance to put fish in, since we had to move out.

It's only because I have had to start out from scratch again that I know it took a while to clear last time...
