Can't comment on the rest, but nitrates at 80PPM is consider high!!
To confirm it really is 80PPM and not beyond, suggest filling test tube with half tank water and half tap water and do the measurements again. If still in the red color chart, then your nitrate is definitely above 80PPM.

Don't know what happen, but the water seems dusty.
Anything I can do to lower it?

For goldfish keeping, especially for Oranda....
Keep the bottom bare with no sand or stones.

It cut or cause abrasion to their tail.

Cloudy water can be of many reasons. New tank? Just change water? Spawning?

Mine's lionchu. Also not recommended to put stones? Sorry if it sounds stupid but I'm still learning

Maybe due to over feeding, but I tried one of the method by other bro is putting dry wipes in the OHF to trap small particulars.
