Help!!!! Red Water???

Hey there, I hope you remember me I am the one with the Angel Fish might be blind problem with the white eyes. Thought it might be popeye. But the eyes were clear and you could see them now they are all white and foggy I really think he is blind but I have come upon one more problem!!!! So here it is if you can help me please please please..... HELP! I was told by the aquarium store to use E.M. Erythromycin. Put in one dose not realizing that the direction said that I had to do a 25% water change every other day. And no where on the box does it say it would help for Popeye. The eyes are not as swollen but they are more clouded over then before. I think he is completely blind. And now my tank has a red color to it and I don't know what to do. Here is a link to the photo it's a bit blury but you can see how red it is. When I had my 60 gallon acryllic show tank in Los Angeles for 10 Years I never had problems like these before. Now I move to vegas, set up a 28gallon tank (about a month now) and I get every single problem you can have. I fix one problem, another one arises like it's waiting in line. How do I get rid of the redness and make my tank normal. The water is completely clear but red, even when I pump some out it's pink in color. What is that and how do I fix it, without damaging my healthy Angels that have been proven breeders.

id put in some carbon for 2 weeks with daily water changes the red should be gone...prestine water will help the cloudy eye and keep an eye on the cycle as im sure with the meds, it probably crashed...goodluck!

Well I don't know much about all the levels, I had someone from a aquarium store test them and they are normal the nitrate is slightly high but not by much. I had done one water change. I came home tonite and the water seems to have cleared slightly I will be doing another water change some time tomorrow. I showed the photos of my tank to the people at the store, and no one has any idea what it is.
