Smells Fishy

Crappy 5mp phone shot but you get the picture. Haha. That's with the lights off during the day, with them on its fine to view the fish, but the water clarity is still pretty bad from the side. So much I can't make out the door opposite the external.
I understand there's a difference in how certain aquarium glass is made, like how transparent it is. Not sure what glass mine is but I can say for sure its cheap, the tanks an Aquael classic 100. I got carbon with my ex 800's but I'm put off using it because when I rinsed it through in the sink it just wouldn't stop running black water, I tried soaking both of them over night with the water changed in between and no joy. Sod putting that in my tank I thought. The thing is I don't know if this is normal with carbon and maybe it might sort its self out somehow if it's in the filter?
I'm struggling to think what's the problem. Filtration shouldn't be the problem since it's about 2200 lph with x2 externals, for a 200l ish. My fancy's and plecs are messy fish that get around about 40% changed every week. I don't feed pellets anymore , since its best to soak them first but I think that didn't help the water out by poring soggy pellets in. If I looked closely I could see tiny bits, like dust float of them when they first go in. Yeah not a standard practice for most of you but it is for the goldfish nutters out there.
Anyway I'd like you opinion. Cheers
