I think that you may need to be cleaning them out more often if they are that dirty. I feel your pain. I have a Nano-Cube and I still use the sponges BUT it's here on my desk at work and I change the sponge at the worst every other day. If I get lazy and wait say a WEEK it's not a pretty sight and yes it makes the tank cloudy. Using filter media is a tad cleaner but it still has to be cleaned out religiously.
The Skimmer is an EXCELLENT idea regardless of anything else you do to your tank. It shouldn't be an option.
