OK everyone a little update my wet/dry and skimmer came in finally and i have them installed and running. i noticed the skimmer not making bubbles i think its cause i didn't add salt yet so its off till i add salt. wet/dry filter says nano on the box but its rated up to 30 gals and its got a small footprint. since i started the wet dry my tank been clearing up slow but its getting there. I think this is because i did not add salt, does salt make tiny particles heavy in the water so it doesn't cloud as much or as easy?

If there is no salt in the water your skmmer will not work.

would that also be why is still cloudy the wet/dry has been running for about 2days here are some pics of the tank and filters
