My Filter Isnt Working?

[IHave2Goldfish]

I got a new 10gal tank 3 days ago.
I got a filter and it says perfect for 10gal tanks?
I followed the directions and everything.
The make is Aqua Tech Deluxe 5-15 power filter.
my tank just isnt clear?
oh and ive got two small fish in it. krazy.gif

Are you cycleing it? I know my tank water wasen't really clear until I finished my cycling...
I dont think its the filter, I think 3 days is just not long enough. What are yoiur tank stats?
What fish/plants do you have in it?

Ok i have to golfish in it.
ones about 3inches long and the other is and inch long.
i have a fake spider like plant in the tank.
Ive got a bubble bar and gravel that is clear.
thats it???

You didn't cycle it? Ouch....
Those goldies are going to get way too big for that tank. Your going to need to up grade to atleast 30G.
The only thing i can think is that, sincwe you didn't cycle it, and the goldies poop alot (?), that new tank is getting a massive bio load, and your fish are likely to die.
Sorry...

What does cycle mean?
I just got done changing half of there water.
its a little clearer.
