Cloudy Water

Ever since my first water change I've had cloudiness in my water it looks like dirt particles floating around in the tank and there seems to be a film one it on the surface off the water. Before my first water change it was not there after I saw it in my first water change. I thought it was that i kicked up some sand when filling up the tank again. I waited a week and did another water. This time I poured it in the back of the tank so I would not kick up any sand. Left it for a week and still had the cloudiness. Last week i did a water change on Friday and added a Hydor Kordalia to give some surface agitation, a week later and I still haven't had seen any improvement in the water clarity. Theres is a build up on the power heads though. Does anyone know what this is and what can I do about it? I thought it might of been a bacteria bloom, but its been three weeks of the same water clarity.
My water Parameter are currently 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 Nitrates Ph is at 8 and and kh is at 9 (measured when writing this post)
Also my bigger clown the black Darwin is being submissive to my Black Ice clown which I find weird has this happened to anyone before
 
Here are some pictures of the build up and the film on the surface sorry for the camera quality

Maybe from some of the equipment you use for a water change, bucket, water mixing station. How does the new water look before adding it to the tank.
 
I buy it from the LFS and I bought the five gallon tank from them to but I am gone do water change right now definitely have never thought that it might be the five gallon tank. I used two different gallons to fill it at first and then bought the five gallon for water changes. Definitely gonna look at the water in the gallon right now
